Can I eat queso fresco?!

Question

Hi everyone! 
So my question is about cheese. I’m Mexican so I gotta have my queso fresco. I’ve read to avoid queso fresco while pregnant but I’ve also read that it’s ok as long as the cheese is pasteurized. If I can eat cheese, this would be the cheese I would eat. Is this safe? The ingredients are listed on the pic. 
Thanks in advance! :)

The only ingredients besides salt and cultures, is pasteurized milk. It’s fine to eat.

This is fine. It’s pretty difficult to find unpasteurized cheese in the US.

Answer

It may constipate you, but keep that in mind. Increase your hydration and fiber to balance it out

Answer

I’ve been eating it 😳 my husband is Hispanic and we put it on top of foods! I never knew you couldn’t have it while pregnant!
