Information

During pregnancy, Bigorneaux are considered a type of food at risk. They can contain high levels of mercury, a potentially harmful contaminant for pregnant women and their fetus. Mercury has been linked to health problems in babies such as development delays, neurological problems and low birth weight. Therefore, pregnant women are recommended to avoid beefs and other types of high mercury fish. However, if you choose to eat periwinkles, then you should consult your doctor or dietitian to make sure your consumption is safe and limited. You should also make sure that the Bigorneaux you eat are well cooked and fresh, as the consumption of poorly cooked or non -fresh products can cause additional health risks. In conclusion, although Bigorneaux are considered a type of food at risk for pregnant women, you can eat them with caution and under the supervision of a qualified health professional.

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