Information
The cheese fondue can be a delicious option to consume during pregnancy, but it is important to take precautions. Pregnant women must avoid unpasteurized soft cheeses such as brie, camembert, blue or roquefort because they are at risk of contamination by Listeria. This can be dangerous for the health of the mother and the unborn baby. Hard cheeses such as Gruyère and Cheddar are considered to be safer because they are often pasteurized. It is also important to check that the fondue is properly prepared and maintained at an appropriate temperature to prevent bacteria from multiplying. An internal temperature of more than 75ºC is recommended to maintain food security. It is always important to remember that any diet during pregnancy must be safe and nourishing. If there are doubts about food security, it is preferable to avoid the food product in question.
