Information
No, it is not recommended to eat spotted bar during pregnancy. This is due to the fact that the spotted bar contains high levels of mercury. Mercury has a harmful effect on the development of the fetus and can cause neurological problems, behavioral problems and development problems at birth. In addition, the spotted bar is rich in fats and calories and can cause excessive weight during pregnancy. Finally, the spotted bar can contain dangerous bacteria that can cause infections and complications in pregnant women. For these reasons, it is better not to eat a spotted bar during pregnancy. Pregnant women can consume other types of fish and seafood, such as salmon, canned tuna, cod and shrimp, which are safer and bring nutrients essential to the growth of the fetus.
All these recommendations are given as an indication based on ANSES information and cannot replace the advice of a health professional.
