Foods allowed and not allowed to eat while pregnant?

Like PZ said I wouldn't worry. Like you said its a clean place and probably prepared recently anyway.

Just wondering if anyone knows if haloumi is okay....Dr Google seems conflicted!

I am only technically pregnant, not actually pregnant. I had an embryo transferred on Monday and am now in the two week wait. My clinic recommends following a pregnancy diet.

TIA!

I've eaten it heaps. I can't see why it wouldn't be...it's a firmer cheese. All cheese in Aus must be pasturized by law, so the thing about cheese not being safe because of that is a more American and Euro thing. The thing with cheeses is that bacteria *might* still breed in them because they're all soft and moist...but haloumi is nice and firm. TBH I've had soft serve, cheeses, deli meats...it's more about *where* you are buying these things and how they were stored/prepared that is importnant...it's really no different to non pregnancy, just common food-sense

If all else fails N2L eat it cooked I personally prefer it cooked anyway. Mmmmm, haloumi Must remember to put that on the shopping list

Halloumi is a hard cheese, and perfectly safe.

Eating a baked potato with sour cream is not a concern. Sour cream is quite safe.
