Information
Yes, you can eat Gruyère during pregnancy, provided you consume it moderately and check that it is free from bacteria. Gruyère is a cooked cheese made from pasteurized cow's milk and thermally treated. It contains proteins, calcium and vitamins which are all important for the health and development of the baby. However, Gruyère is a long and long maturation cheese, which means that it contains a larger quantity of bacteria, such as listeria, which can be dangerous for health. Therefore, it is important to clean it well and consume it with caution. Make sure that the Gruyère that you buy is free from impurities and contaminants and that it is well cleaned. Once you have bought the Gruyère and verified that it is free from bacteria, you can consume it in small quantities. However, if you have doubts or worries, it is best to consult a doctor before eating Gruyère during pregnancy.
