Although it is true that smoked salmon and all other types of smoked seafood is acceptable for pregnant women to eat, it is extremely important that it is canned. If the salmon is not canned it could contain listeria which is a very dangerous type of bacteria that could cause many different health complications for both the mother and baby.

Smoked seafood actually contains a lot of things that are important for the body to have, such as vitamins A and D as well as lots of protein and fish liver oil. Pregnant women will find that eating a significant amount of canned smoked salmon on a regular basis will also benefit them because of the high amounts of zinc, iron, calcium, and potassium that are in it. These are all vitamins, nutrients, and minerals that your body needs to stay healthy as well as the unborn child you are carrying inside of you.
