Information

Beef tongue is a meat rich in protein, vitamins and minerals. It is also an interesting source of iron, which is very important during pregnancy. Beef tongue can therefore be a good source of nutrients for pregnant women. However, the beef language also contains fairly high levels of cholesterol. As pregnant women have a higher risk of developing heart disease, it is important to limit the amount of cholesterol they consume. Pregnant women are therefore advised to eat beef tongue in moderation. Finally, it is important to remember that the tongue of beef is raw meat and that it can therefore present a risk of food poisoning. It is therefore important to cook it before consuming it. In addition, pregnant women are recommended to request their doctor's advice before consuming beef tongue.

All these recommendations are given as an indication based on ANSES information and cannot replace the advice of a health professional.
