Rainbow Roll

Rainbow rolls are generally fine while breastfeeding, but they typically contain a variety of raw fish — so just be mindful of mercury. Choose rolls that lean toward salmon and avoid excessive tuna.

Moderate tuna portions; fine as an occasional choice
Rainbow rolls are typically a California roll topped with thin slices of assorted raw fish — often salmon, tuna, yellowtail, and shrimp. Salmon and shrimp are low-mercury and great choices. Tuna and yellowtail are moderate-to-higher mercury, so enjoy in moderation. Overall, an occasional rainbow roll is a reasonable choice.
