Yellowfin Tuna
Yellowfin tuna (often called ahi) is a 'good choice' on the FDA's list — lower in mercury than swordfish or bigeye tuna, but higher than salmon. Limit to one serving per week.
1 serving (4oz) per week
Yellowfin tuna is commonly served as ahi tuna steaks or in sashimi. While it's a nutritious fish, its mercury content is moderate, placing it in the FDA's 'good choice' category for nursing moms. One serving (4oz) per week is the recommended limit. If you eat tuna regularly, alternate with lower-mercury options like salmon.
Always confirm with your doctor or lactation consultant before making dietary changes while breastfeeding.
