Is it safe to eat pig liver?

Yes, although it's not recommended for consumption by pregnant women. The liver does not store toxins itself, and vitamin A toxicity is not observed except through excessive consumption (I suggest googling the topic for more information, there's a lot of it out there).

Liver, if you can stomach the strong flavour, is a fantastic source of essential nutrients, fat-soluble vitamins, trace elements and protein. There are hundreds of recipes to research and try for yourself, and even though the texture is a little odd to me (I'm not a huge fan!) in small enough pieces I'll eat it quite happily... thin slices in a rich gravy with bacon and onions is a favourite. Just make sure you buy good-quality stuff, from well-reared animals. Even the best pigs liver is hardly expensive so it makes a great budget meal.

Enjoy as part of a balanced, varied diet and healthy lifestyle. Modern living is more dangerous than almost any offal you're likely to eat.
