Information
Pregnancy is a very important period for a future mother and her baby to be born, and it is therefore important not to take unnecessary risks. Rollmops are smoked herring nets, and although smoked fish is generally considered to be sure to consume during pregnancy, rollmops have a very strong taste and can contain high levels of sodium, nitrates and nitrites. In addition, rollmops are often served marinated in brine, which increases their salt content. Therefore, if you are pregnant and want to eat rollmops, it is best to consult your doctor first to check if it is sure to do so. In general, it is advisable to limit the consumption of smoked fish during pregnancy to one or two portions per week. If your doctor authorizes you to eat rollmops, be sure to consume them in moderation and to avoid savory marinades.
