Can I have a little serving of blue cheese with my salad even when I'm pregnant?

Question

I dont eat salad every day, going to dinner tonight and the only dressing I like at the place is blue cheese.

Answer

It’s probably okay in a small amount and sometimes you can find pasteurized blue cheese. Dressing is more likely to be pasteurized as well. You can always ask them.

Answer

It needs to be pasteurized. 
A friend of a friend miscarried from listeria poisoning from unpasteurized cheese at a French restaurant. Make sure that it's pasteurized or skip it. If it's made in the USA it's pasteurized. If it's imported, it might not be.

Answer

Is it worth the risk? Probably nothing will happen, but if it happens..

Answer

I’ve ate it and salads while I’ve been pregnant but I mean it’s like 2 Tbs at a time I don’t see an issue
