Question 1

How do I check what's in my food during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

With Good Roots, scan any product barcode and see exactly what's inside—plus what the research says about each ingredient. No more Googling every item on the label.

Question 2

What foods should I watch out for while pregnant?

Accepted Answer

The main ones: high-mercury fish (shark, swordfish), raw or undercooked meat and eggs, unpasteurized dairy, and cold deli meats. Alcohol is also a no-go. Check our Foods to Avoid guide for the full list and alternatives.

Can I drink coffee while pregnant?

Yes, in moderation. Most doctors say up to 200mg of caffeine per day is fine—that's about one 12oz cup of coffee. Good Roots can help you track caffeine in different products.
