Information

As a pregnant woman, you are probably wondering if you can eat red cheese during your pregnancy. The answer is yes, but with restrictions. Red cheese is generally considered to be eating during pregnancy, provided you choose it well and prepare it properly. Soft or semi-farm cheeses such as Brie, Camembert, Bleu and Roquefort are risky cheeses because they are made from non-pasteurized raw milk. This means that they can contain harmful bacteria such as salmonella and listeria, which can be harmful to your baby. You should avoid eating these cheeses during pregnancy. Hard cheeses such as cheddar, parmesan and gouda are generally considered safe because they are made from pasteurized milk. These cheeses can be eaten without danger during pregnancy, provided they consume them fresh and well cooked. It is recommended that pregnant women are looking for red cheese marks that have been pasteurized and that they avoid all the products that have been made from raw milk. It is also advisable for pregnant women to be cautious and to ensure the freshness of the cheeses they consume. If you have doubts about the safety of a cheese, it is best not to consume it.
