Can I use this oil during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?

According to the manufacturer, this mustard oil is not suitable for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. The reason is not detailed on the label, but traditional caution around mustard seed products in these periods relates to certain naturally occurring compounds in mustard that may not be appropriate when you are pregnant or nursing.

If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, follow the manufacturer's guidance and choose a different edible oil—such as olive, sunflower, or rapeseed oil—for your cooking and salads. Once you are no longer pregnant or breastfeeding and want to reintroduce mustard oil into your diet, you can do so, starting with small amounts to see how you tolerate the flavor and ensuring it fits comfortably into your meals.
