Worried about Vitamin A from chicken liver in my meal prep

Hi everyone, I recently made a big batch of bolognese sauce with 1 lb of chicken liver for meal prep, inspired by a cooking video. The sauce turned out great, but now I'm concerned about potential vitamin A toxicity from the liver. I've read that a safe weekly vitamin A intake is around 3000 mcg, but 1 lb of chicken liver has about 40000 mcg! At that rate, I'd need to space out eating this sauce over 13 weeks to stay safe. I originally planned for it to last about 4 weeks. Should I scrap that plan? Am I being overly cautious? I'd love to hear your thoughts on balancing nutrition and safety when it comes to organ meats in meal prep. Thanks in advance for any advice!

While chicken liver is nutritious, consuming such a large amount in a short time could potentially lead to vitamin A toxicity. Consider freezing portions of the sauce to use over a longer period, or sharing some with friends and family to reduce your intake. Moderation is key with organ meats.
