Should you avoid sushi during pregnancy? Some websites would have you believe that it's ok to consume raw fish, as long as you're eating fish that is low in mercury.
The safety of sushi during pregnancy is the topic of this week's episode of The Sitch. Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Whitney English will also be sharing tips on safe seafood consumption during pregnancy and the best fish to eat for moms to be and their babies.
UPDATE (7/1/2020): While the CDC still advises against consuming raw fish during pregnancy, the NHS says it is ok provided the sushi has been properly handled (frozen first to less than -4° F to kill parasites and properly handed/stored/refrigerated after to prevent bacterial contamination). High-end sushi restaurants usually do this and are therefore probably safe to consume. But you never really know. This is why it is still a risk. But in the interest of evidence-based guidelines, I want you to know that the risk is very low in the perfect conditions. If you do choose to eat raw fish during pregnancy, I'd recommend avoiding pre-made sushi from grocery stores, cheap restaurants, and in areas that are far from the water where fish has had to travel long distances and has more contamination opportunities.
