Liver and liver products

Avoid because they can contain very high vitamin A. Ask before taking any supplement containing retinol.

Direct guidance

What to know or do

For “Liver and liver products,” use the lower-exposure choice instead of trying to cancel the exposure afterward. Do not use unpasteurized milk or foods made from it unless they are cooked until steaming hot.

What changes the answer

  • Whether every ingredient is pasteurised or cooked through
  • How the food was chilled, stored, handled and reheated
  • The exact species, product label, recall or contamination warning

General guidance

When to get individual help

Choose a lower-risk alternative when possible. If the exposure already happened, record the product, amount, timing and symptoms and ask for advice instead of assuming harm.
