Sushi can be eaten during pregnancy, but raw fish sushi is not considered safe, so it’s best to avoid rolls made with raw or undercooked seafood due to risks like Listeria, Salmonella, and parasite infections, which can harm both mother and baby. High-mercury fish like tuna (especially bigeye or bluefin), swordfish, king mackerel, and shark should also be avoided because mercury can affect fetal brain development. Safer options include fully cooked sushi (like tempura shrimp, cooked salmon, or eel), vegetarian rolls (avocado, cucumber, sweet potato), or rolls made with pasteurized ingredients. Overall, choosing cooked or plant-based sushi from hygienic sources allows you to enjoy it safely during pregnancy.
