Pregnancy is a time filled with excitement and important choices — including what to eat. One common question: Is tuna safe during pregnancy?
Let’s unpack the science, share expert-backed guidance, and help you feel confident about including tuna in your diet.
Yes — but choose wisely.
Tuna is a great source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, crucial for your baby’s brain and eye development. However, certain types of tuna can have higher mercury levels. The FDA recommends 2–3 servings (8–12 ounces) per week of low-mercury fish for pregnant women.
The American Pregnancy Association states that moderate tuna consumption can be part of a healthy prenatal diet, especially when choosing lower-mercury options.
Mercury can affect a baby’s developing brain and nervous system. That’s why expecting moms need to limit exposure and choose lower-mercury seafood.
Safe Catch is the only brand that tests every single tuna and salmon for mercury, using proprietary technology to ensure levels are 10x–25x stricter than FDA limits, resulting in the lowest mercury limit of any brand.

Tuna can be a powerful addition to a prenatal diet when chosen carefully.

Omega-3s, particularly DHA, help develop your baby’s brain and eyes. NIH research links prenatal DHA intake to improved cognitive and visual outcomes.
Tuna is naturally rich in B12, selenium, vitamin D, and iodine, all essential during pregnancy.
Safe Catch tuna is slow-cooked and hand-packed to lock in nutrients naturally, with no fillers, no additives, or added water. Our unique Do Not Drain approach preserves natural omega-3 oils and essential micronutrients, delivering pure, clean nutrition with rich taste and natural texture you can truly enjoy.

Avoid added broth or water — pure fish is best.
Wild-caught fish tend to be leaner and more nutrient-dense. Safe Catch uses MSC-certified tuna and salmon, supporting sustainability.
