Safety Status: ⚠️ Limit

Bannock is a delightful, traditional bread that can complement your diet with its energy-giving carbohydrates. That said, it's important to approach it with balance in mind. Our nutritional advice suggests limiting bannock to 1 slice per day. This is because while bannock provides carbohydrates necessary for energy, it falls short on important nutrients that are crucial during pregnancy. Overindulging can lead to excessive calorie intake without delivering all the essential vitamins and minerals you and your baby need.
