Information

Oysters are a source of nutrients and can be consumed during pregnancy. Oysters contain large quantities of protein, iron and zinc, which are necessary for the healthy development of the baby. Oysters also contain other important nutrients such as vitamin B12, selenium and phosphorus. However, pregnant women should be careful when they consume oysters. Oysters can contain bacteria that can cause serious infections and diseases. It is therefore important to ensure that oysters are well cooked before consuming them. In addition, pregnant women should avoid consuming oysters from dubious sources and not consuming more than 6 oysters per day. In conclusion, oysters can be consumed during pregnancy, but only if they are well cooked and consumed in moderate doses.

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