The laughing cow cheese??

[CocktailBubba]

Is it considered a 'soft' cheese? Is it ok to eat doing pregnancy?

I poked it and it feels soft but I'm not sure lol... I want cheesey toast and it's the only cheese in the fridge at the moment!!!

Soft cheeses are absolutely fine to eat during pregnancy - it is only in countries like america where not all the milk is, by law, pasteurised that such things are a concern.

All milk is pasteurised in Australia, and during the cheesemaking process is heated again which would destroy any listeria, you have a higher risk getting listeria from eating celery or lettuce than cheese.

Also, if you heat ANY type of cheese, like in a toasted sandwhich where the temp goes above 77degrees, there is essentially no risk, just like any freshly cooked/ heated food.

Woo hoo!! I'm just gonna spread it cold on toast though... Would be ok I suppose

Thanks!!

I think they mean your camembert and brie type cheeses etc that are covered in a mould. These soft cheeses shouldn't be eaten. But most of the other small processed cheeses are pastaurised and not covered in a moulde so no problem!
