Can you eat unpasturized cheese while pregnant?
Cheese that is made with unpasteurized milk is not safe to eat during pregnancy. Unpasteurized milk is not safe to consume because there is a risk that it contains a bacterium called Listeriamonocytogenes. Listeria is killed during pasteurization and cooking so the majority of the cheeses that are sold in stores are safe. However, soft cheese such as feta, brie, gorgonzola, etc. could contain Listeria. Listeria can cause problems for both the mom and her baby during pregnancy. If you are infected with Listeria, you could suffer a miscarriage, have a preterm birth, pass the infection to the baby, and in some severe cases, have a stillborn. During pregnancy, it's best to read cheese labels and only eat cheese that is labeled as "pasteurized.

Cream cheese it all right - it's the only alternative I had during my soft-cheese cravings. The basic rule is no unpasturized cheeses, because of the listeria bacteria that can make the baby sick. I can't wait until I can have goat and feta cheeses again!
Can pregnant woman eat Roquefort cheese?
It is not recommended that pregnant women eat Roquefort cheese. It is a blue moldy cheese and mold has toxins that are not good for the baby. Also it is a raw milk cheese with a fresh rind so there is a lot of bacteria, such as listeria that may be present as well. Listeriosis can cause miscarriage and early delivery. I love blue cheese but its not a good idea to eat while pregnant.

Listeria bacteria can pass through the wall of the intestines, and from there they can get into the blood stream.
What famous blue cheese caused problems in a Lanarkshire town in the 1980's and why?
Lanarkshire Blue cheese was in the 1980's the first sheep milk blue cheese produced in the British Isles for several hundred years. A scare arose because of the appearance in some European cheeses of a variety of Listeria (a bacteria) which had the potential to be particularly harmful to pregnant women and other who might be immuno suppressed. The Lanarkshire Environmental Health Service seized some £50,000 worth of Lanark Blue cheese from the maker claiming it to be contaminated with Listeria and unfit for human consumption. It later turned out, after a long legal and scientific battle, that the Lanarkshire EH Service had got their science wrong and the strain of Listeria found in Lanark Blue was to be found in many cheeses and had never been shown to cause any ill effects in humans.
