About PregnancySafeFoods
Our Mission
PregnancySafeFoods helps expecting parents get quick, clear answers about what is safe to eat during pregnancy. We organise published food-safety guidance into one free, easy-to-use reference, so you can spend less time searching and more time feeling confident about everyday food choices.
Who We Are
The PregnancySafeFoods Editorial Team
PregnancySafeFoods is run by an independent editorial team. We are not doctors, dietitians or medical professionals, and we do not claim that our content is reviewed by any. Every page is researched and written by our team and checked against current published guidance from official health authorities.
Researched from primary sources
Each answer is built from published FDA, CDC, USDA and ACOG guidance, with NHS guidance used as an additional reference where helpful.
Checked, not medically reviewed
Content is checked against those guidelines rather than reviewed by a named clinician. Always confirm your own situation with your midwife or OB-GYN.
Corrections and updates
Guidance changes over time. If you spot something out of date or unclear, email us and we will review and update it.
