Fish advice for pregnancy, breastfeeding and children

FDA and EPA's fish chart lists fish by name; check which fish this is.

FDA and EPA advise people who are or may become pregnant, people who are breastfeeding, and parents of children 1 to 11:

  • Pregnant or breastfeeding: 2 to 3 servings a week from the Best Choices list, or 1 serving a week from the Good Choices list. A serving is 4 ounces.
  • Children: 2 servings a week from the Best Choices list. A serving is about 1 ounce at ages 1 to 3, 2 ounces at 4 to 7, 3 ounces at 8 to 10, and 4 ounces at 11.

By the week

EPA's daily limit for methylmercury adds up to about 49 µg a week for a 154-lb adult and 10.5 µg for a 33-lb toddler. A daily limit is an average over time, so one fish meal counts across the whole week.

  • At FDA's average for cod, baked; salmon, steaks/fillets, baked (52.1 ppb, 54 samples, 2017-2020; not a test of this product): about 8.3 servings of 4 ounces a week reach EPA's limit for a 154-lb adult; about 7.1 servings of 1 ounce for a 33-lb toddler.

Typical for smoked fish

FDA doesn't test this exact kind of food, so these are the closest foods it does test. Treat them as a rough guide.

FDA samples behind these numbers
  • Lead in Cod, baked: found in 0 of 27 samples, all below 4 ppb (2017-2020)
  • Lead in Salmon, steaks/fillets, baked: found in 0 of 27 samples, all below 4 ppb (2017-2020)
  • Cadmium in Cod, baked: found in 16 of 27 samples, average 2.19, highest 11 ppb (2017-2020)
  • Cadmium in Salmon, steaks/fillets, baked: found in 13 of 27 samples, average 1.6, highest 11 ppb (2017-2020)
  • Mercury in Cod, baked: found in 27 of 27 samples, average 83.4, highest 140 ppb (2017-2020)
  • Mercury in Salmon, steaks/fillets, baked: found in 27 of 27 samples, average 20.8, highest 46 ppb (2017-2020)
  • Arsenic (total) in Cod, baked: found in 27 of 27 samples, average 4,915, highest 10,900 ppb (2017-2020)
  • Arsenic (total) in Salmon, steaks/fillets, baked: found in 27 of 27 samples, average 376, highest 1,400 ppb (2017-2020)
  • Perchlorate in Salmon, steaks/fillets, baked: found in 4 of 20 samples, average 0.88, highest 12.1 ppb (2008-2012)

Left out of the summary above: Perchlorate. FDA measured it in only some of these foods, so the result describes those foods, not the whole kind.

"Typically" is FDA's middle sample. Daily amounts use the long-run average and each chemical's daily limit (EPA reference dose, or FDA's level for lead) for a 33-lb toddler and a 154-lb adult. ppb = micrograms per kilogram of food. Source: FDA Total Diet Study.
