Question

Are crabsticks ok to eat when pregnant?

Answer

Crabsticks are actually made from cooked white fish, so should be safe to eat as any bacteria or parasites will have been killed in the cooking process. It recommended that you reheat cooked food that has cooled down before eating it.

 

It's fine to eat shellfish in pregnancy as long as they are well cooked all the way through. You should avoid eating raw shellfish such as oysters though as these can result in food poisoning during pregnancy.
