Cream cheese? Safe or should avoid?

Question

Is cream cheese okay during pregnancy?  (Like Philadelphia cream cheese)

Answer

If you are eating a soft cheese in the United States it is pasteurized, only raw cheeses that have been aged for 60+days (making them hard) can be legally sold in the US.  I don't even know why doctors continue to tell people this stuff about non-pasteurized soft cheeses, it's a waste of time.  Cheese it up girls!

Answer

Here you go 😁

Answer

I've been eating bagels all along. Love my cream cheese! Never even thought about it.

Answer

When in doubt just check labels for "pasteurized" I don't know where you're from but almost everything in the US is pasteurized as regulated by food law

Answer

Of course cream cheese is safe! I'm really curious about why so many people have the opinion that it isn't safe. Anyone want to weigh in?

Answer

If the package says it's made with pasteurized milk you're good to go! 👍

Answer

As long as whatever dairy product you're consuming is pasteurized then it's ok. You can even find pasteurized bries!
