Ok to eat?

Question

Anyone know if it's okay for me to eat queso fresco while pregnant? I'm Mexican & my family basically eats that with everything lol

Answer

Only if it is made from pasteurized cheese. Most soft cheeses are not pasteurized and carry the risk of listeria, which can cross the placenta and cause preterm delivery, miscarriage and other serious risks. Always double check your cheese labels!

Answer

My babies dad side is mexican, I eat mexican cheese all the time.

Im like 31 weeks already, baby is very strong to me. I always eat spicy food too when they tell me not to, not because I want to, its the only thing the baby craves. Just gives me heartburns. But if your concern or too early(first semester) dont eat it yet.

Answer

If you're getting it from an American grocery store you're good to go. If it's from a specialty store just make sure it's pasteurized (I think sometimes they can have non-pasturized imported cheese in some states, not I'm not sure).

Answer

Yes. Queso is usually pasteurized, just melted. Check with you doctor if you have a concern but I'm sure you're fine 😊
