We ordered a salad with feta and after eating I read somewhere that some cheese is not safe in pregnancy, ab tension ho rahi hai. Im 4 months. Is feta one of the ones to avoid? pls someone clear this.
I know how scary it is to read online about what cheeses to avoid, it used to give me so much anxiety. Feta is generally fine if it's pasteurized, but if it makes you nervous, just skip it for a few months. Your peace of mind is more important.
Hello dear! Yes, feta is safe but always read the label to ensure it says 'pasteurized'. Unpasteurized cheeses can carry bacteria that aren't good for the baby. If you're eating out, it's safer to avoid it just to be sure.
Personally, I absolutely love feta but chose to completely avoid it during my pregnancy just to be on the safer side. I stuck to cooked paneer instead. This was just my way of staying worry-free.
According to my pregnancy tracker app, pasteurized feta is completely safe. Just make sure you double-check the packaging for that 'pasteurized' label. If you are eating at a restaurant, it's best to ask the staff clearly.
