There has been a great deal of debate lately between government regulators and food afficionados about whether or not it is safe to eat unpasteurized cheeses. In a few recent cases, people have become sick after eating unpasteurized cheeses, possibly due to the listeria bacteria found in unpasteurized milk. On the other hand, as cheese-lovers argue, pasteurization destroys many of the subtle natural flavors of cheeses, and thousands of people have eaten unpasteurized cheeses with no ill effect.

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.

Soft unripened cheeses can pose food safety risks primarily due to their high moisture content, which supports the growth of harmful bacteria such as Listeria, Salmonella, and E. coli. These cheeses are often made from unpasteurized milk, increasing the likelihood of contamination. Additionally, improper handling and storage can further elevate the risk of spoilage and foodborne illnesses. To mitigate these risks, it is crucial to ensure proper pasteurization and adhere to safe handling practices.

I got the answer to this question from the website for Food Standards Australia and New Zealand. I recommend using the information provided by them for any other questions you may have about what is safe/unsafe to eat whilst pregnant.http://www.foodstandards.gov.au/newsroom/factsheets/factsheets2005/listeriacommonlyaske3115.cfmSoft Italian style cheesesMozzarella, Provolone, Cacioccvallo, Bocconcini , ScamorzeThe heat treatment (typically 71-88°C ) given to these cheeses is sufficient to inactivate any Listeria present, however opportunities exist for post processing contamination.In general these cheeses are safe to consume by at risk groups if purchased pre packaged. Avoid these cheeses if purchased at a delicatessen counter.Agree with the comments above.It is not recommended to eat unpastuerised cheeses while you are pregnant. With any soft cheese, including Brie, Camembert and Ricotta, there is a minor risk of Listeria infection when consumed. Bocconcini, however is heated to over 80 degrees in manufacturing which means it is much safer than soft cheeses.If you are pregnant, it is much safer to consume soft cheeses if they are cooked and served hot (as this kills any bacteria in the cheese).Source: La Casa Del Formaggiohttp://www.lacasa.com.au/qa.htm
