The official advice on eating crab sticks in pregnancy
Good news! Crab sticks are safe to eat in pregnancy.
Crab sticks aren't actually made from crab – they're made from fish. The NHS says that both fish and seafood are perfectly safe to eat if they're thoroughly cooked, and crab sticks are pre-cooked, so are safe to eat when you're pregnant.
