Hi, I would like to know if it is dangerous to eat crab while pregnant, I am currently at 10 weeks. So if it's boiled in hot water is it ok? Thanks a lot!

Hello, thank you for your question, and congratulations!

Whether it's real crab meat or fake crab meat, you'll have to make sure that it's been completely cooked (not cold smoked for example). If it is, no problem to eat it!

I remain available if you have any other questions!
