Information

Poultry liver can be consumed during pregnancy, but carefully. It is important to cook it at a high temperature to kill all the germs that could be harmful to the developing baby. Before consuming poultry liver, you must make sure that it has been well cooked and that it is at room temperature. This is important because the liver can be a source of harmful germs that can cause infections or diseases if they are not well cooked. In addition, the poultry liver is rich in vitamin A, which can be harmful if consumed in large quantities. It is therefore important not to consume it in excess and not to consume more than twice a week. Excessive consumption of vitamin A can cause congenital anomalies in baby. In summary, the poultry liver can be consumed during pregnancy, but carefully. You must make sure that it is well cooked and at room temperature and limit its consumption to avoid excessive consumption of vitamin A.
