Hey everyone.

I've been wondering about this for a while, when really I should have put it straight to you guys who have studied every single aspect of pregnancy as I am doing to stay safe and healthy!

Regarding SOFT CHEESE- now in most places that I've read about the reasons for avoiding it.. (listeria) it has said that soft cheese is unpasteurised, - that pasteurising kills the bacteria.

My partner has all along told me that it is law in Aus to pasteurise ALL dairy products... I never take his word as gospel (LMAO!!! And does he hate me second guessing him!) but talking to my friend who is a chef, he told me exactly the same thing!!!!!!

So the question is - ARE WE SCARED SILLY OF SOFT CHEESE BECAUSE OF A THEORY THAT HAS BEEN IMPORTED FROM OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD????

Of course... we're so safe and paranoid, even if this theory proves to be true- it's not like we're going to take any tiny spec of risk of our precious ones by going back to eating glorious brie and fetta... BUT I am interested to know.
