I really. Really want feta.

Is it off limits?

No feta is fine.
I bought some a few weeks ago but checked the nhs website first.

Enjoy! :)

It's fine.

www.nhs.uk/chq/Pages/are-hard-cheeses-safe-to-eat-during-pregnancy.aspx?CategoryID=54&SubCategoryID=216 - says feta is ok if made from pasteurised milk

Regulations for feta sold in the UK are that it is made from pasteurised milk. You'd be hard pressed to find feta in a Supermarket that hasn't been made from pasteurised milk. I've eaten it throughout my pregnancy :)

I spent a whole panicky lunchtime googling feta before finding out where I bought it from only used pasteurised feta! make sure it is pasteurised and go to town. if you're really worried, have it hot - then you can make sure you have killed any nasties.

mmmmm, feta cheese and caramelised onion pizza...

We're allowed to eat feta made from pasteurized milk here in the US. I wouldn't eat it without being able to read the label and see that it was made from pasteurized milk, but I have eaten feta during both my pregnancies.
