Dueinfeb,

I dont have a reply for you, but I was wondering the same thing. Anyone know?

ricotta is fine if cooked, so it feta, must be heated over 60 degrees.

I personally wouldn't eat it if not cooked even the packaged stuff, that's just me though, cooked is fine.

I don't think I could cope without my pastizzi and ravul.(maltese food) I just make sure they are really well cooked leave them for a few mins extra just to be sure!

Generally speaking they will be pasturised in Australia, due to our food safety laws.
Only eat them cooked though, just to be sure, as the storage, transpor and maufacturing process can be iffy...even if it is pre-packaged.
I would just steer clear of anything if you dont HAVE to eat it.

Hi All

My doctor referred me to the Food Authority website - here is the link Pregnancy and food safety | NSW Food Authority: safer food, clearer choices

It has pretty much everything you need to know about what you can and cant eat.

Hope that helps!

What about swiss cheese, since it is kind of soft? Is that ok, like in a ham and cheese croissant?

[LimeSlice]

Swiss cheese is fine. It is considered a hard cheese. However if you are unsure, always get Australian cheeses as they are pasturised, whereas European cheeses dont have to be.
I LIVED on ham cheese and tomato toasties from 6 months to 7 months pregnant lol breakfast and lunch...had to force myself to stop eating them in the end!!
