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

[Nadine216]

Just read a baby mag yesterday - Feta is fine when pasturised and before it's "best-before-date"
I had Feta through my pg, I am a Feta nut, gruppy little feta paws . Bought small tubs and threw it away after 10 days open in the fridge.

There is a comprehensive list of what you should avoid and what is safe at Eating cheese during pregnancy

It says there that feta is OK. When I buy fetta, I just make sure it's pasteurised. Also, I think goats milk is slightly more risky than cows milk, so you could always get cows milk fetta....

To be safe, I tend to agree on recommending pre-packaged aussie fetta. To be extra safe, you can cook it, but all Australian fetta is pasteurised, so it is safe for pregnancy. I would definitely avoid fetta from deli's containing meat products - way to risky in preg. And Caz - pastizzi's are fine Enjoy
