Is it hard or is it soft? FETTA cheese - is it safe to eat during pregnancy?

[suse]

Oh poop... I've been avoiding nearly every other cheese for the last 39 weeks and NOW I find out that fetta is on the 'bad' list. What a complete muppet I am...

I too was told that the prepackaged, Aus. ones were OK because they were pasteurised. At least I've only ever eaten it 'at home' and not in restaurants, etc.

Darn, darn, darn...

Fetta cheese is fine if it's pasturised, which fetta sold in the supermarket is. I would buy the prepackaged ones.

I'd steer clear of anything from a deli cabinet - whether cheese, meat or anything else - just because there's no way of knowing how fresh it is.
