I have heard that you should not eat soft cheeses while pregnant. Well, does this mean no pizza!?

The soft cheeses has to do with cheese that may not be pastuerized - blue cheese, feta, brie - all those are soft cheeses that are not allowed as they may have listeria.

professorpreggers - 154 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) It's the soft ripened cheese that you should stay away from--brie, any of the blue veins, anything mold ripened. Whatever you do, stay away from raw cheeses of any kind--anything unpasteurized for that matter. Normally your body could dispense with an infection, but not while you're pregnant. I also read that goat products are a no no but I don't know how true that is. I wanted to fight the cheese mandate but then I read a study in a medical journal that traced the number of cases of toxoplasmosis in pregnant women among the US, UK, France, Italy and Spain. Countries like France and Italy where, as far as I know, there is no directive for pregnant women to stay away from soft cheeses and also cured meats, had a much higher rate of toxoplasmosis and resulting MC. Melted Mozzarella is fine—most Pizza places use huge chunks of pasteurized cheeses that they buy in bulk. Unless you’re at some fancy niche restaurant that might serve you something raw or unpasteurized, you can eat all the pizza you want. I eat it all the time—and never liked it before I got pregnant.

Brandi J. - 154 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Pizza is completely ok, b/c the cheese normally used on pizza is considered hard cheese, not the unpaturized soft cheeses.

KarenVG - 154 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) if it has mozzerella or cheddar hard cheeses that is fine. It is the kind like mentioned, feta, blue , camenbert, soft cheeses that you should avoid.

UKMama - 154 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Pizza SHOULD be fine. It may be worth asking it the cheese is pasturized though as that's the main thing. If it's pasturized, all listeria bugs will have been killed. But soft, mould-ripened cheeses (eg: Brie, Camenbert and blue vein cheeses) could be riddled with it so DO NOT go there! Generally though, most cheese are pasturized as standard practice. I'm sure the pizza would be fine!

baby.bray - 154 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) pizza is ok sweetie - philadelphia cheese spread is ok too, its the mould ripened (unpasterised) cheeses which are considered potentially dangerous x

jaydsmom - 154 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) You should just not eat soft unpasturized cheese such as feta or brie. So if its just mozza cheese or cheddar on your pizza, go right ahead!!
