Grouper

Grouper falls in the FDA's 'good choice' category — it has moderate mercury and should be limited to one serving a week while breastfeeding.

1 serving (4oz) per week

Grouper is a popular restaurant fish, but it accumulates more mercury than smaller, shorter-lived fish. The FDA categorizes it as a 'good choice' for nursing moms, meaning up to one serving (4oz) per week is acceptable. Pair it in your diet with lower-mercury options.

Safer Alternatives:

Tilapia Cod Salmon

Always confirm with your doctor or lactation consultant before making dietary changes while breastfeeding.
