Abstract

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is announcing the availability of revised fish advice entitled "Advice About Eating Fish: For Those Who Might Become or Are Pregnant or Breastfeeding and Children Ages 1-11 Years." The revised advice updates advice that FDA and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) jointly issued in January 2017 and subsequently revised in July 2019. The advice is intended to help those who might become or are pregnant or breastfeeding, and parents and caregivers of children 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.
