Riepilogo

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is announcing the availability of revised fish advice entitled "Advice About Eating Fish: For Women Who Are or Might Become Pregnant, Breastfeeding Mothers, and Young Children." The revised advice updates advice that FDA and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) jointly issued in January 2017. The advice is intended to help women who are or might become pregnant, breastfeeding mothers, and parents of children over 2 years make informed choices about fish that are nutritious and safe to eat. We are revising the advice in accordance with a recent directive from Congress. FDA is seeking public comment on the development of educational materials on the updated fish advice for women who are or might become pregnant, breastfeeding mothers, and parents of young children.
