Information

If you are pregnant, you should be very careful when you consume dairy products and in particular goat log. The goat's log is a soft cheese made from goat milk, which can contain a variety of bacteria that can be dangerous for you and for your baby. Due to the risk of toxoplasmosis, pregnant women are recommended not to consume soft cheeses, including the goat log. Toxoplasmosis is a parasitic disease generally transmitted by food contaminated by animal excrement. It can cause serious complications for the baby, including brain damage and congenital malformations. To avoid any risk, it is better not to consume goat log during pregnancy. The consumption of hard cheeses, such as parmesan or cheddar, is safer, but it is important to heat them until they are completely melted to reduce the risk of toxoplasmosis.

All these recommendations are given as an indication based on ANSES information and cannot replace the advice of a health professional.
