Safer Consumption

Fish and seafood are an important and healthy source of protein, especially for people who are pregnant or planning on becoming pregnant. However, reducing exposure to harmful contaminants is also an important step in reducing risk to everyone, including mothers and their infants. For those who eat locally caught fish, you can learn about which fish to avoid or limit consumption of by reading the Fish Consumption brochure.
