Information
Duck livers are considered a food rich in nutrients and can be beneficial for your health. However, during pregnancy, it is best to limit your duck liver consumption. Indeed, the duck liver contains many nutrients, but it is also rich in vitamin A, which can be harmful to the fetus. In addition, some duck livers may contain high levels of mercury, which can also be harmful to the development of the fetus. Therefore, although there may be advantages of dining duck liver during pregnancy, it is best to limit your consumption. You should consult your doctor to get advice specific to your situation and your diet. You can also choose duck livers cooked at high temperature to reduce the risk of contamination by bacteria or parasites.
