Information

The Munster is a soft cheese made from cow's milk and based on raw milk. It is very popular in Alsace and elsewhere in France. Can pregnant women eat Munster? The answer is yes, but in moderation. Indeed, the Munster is a soft cheese which is therefore based on raw milk, which means that it has not been pasteurized and therefore that it can contain harmful bacteria for the pregnant woman and her baby. However, if the munster is well preserved and well cooked, there is no risk. It is therefore advisable to check the deadline for MUNSTER consumption, and to consume it cooked, for example in gratins or melted, to avoid any risk. In conclusion, it is possible to eat munster during pregnancy, but in moderation and respecting all the safety and hygiene instructions.

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