NHS says soft blue veined is OK if it's pasturised, and cheese.com (seems official? Grin) says it's made from pasturised cows milk.

Do you concur? It's my favourite cheese!

I thought soft blue cheese was to be avoided even if pasteurised. Hard blue cheese is ok as it has less risk of Listeria

I though stilton was the only safe blue cheese? There are sooo many food rules now arent there! Confusing x

Sorry, but it doesn’t.

NHS advises against soft mound-ripened cheese (eg Brie and Camembert) and soft blue cheese (Gorgonzola, danish blue, Roquefort). Pasteurisation is irrelevant as it’s the soft cheese that creates the environment for the bacteria.

Cambazola is mould-ripened and blue (it’s a hybrid of Camembert and Gorgonzola) so it would be doubly advised against.

I think I read the NHS website wrong. I got over excited Sad I'm gutted. Still, at least I'm allowed runny Lion eggs this time Smile

The risks are very low, it’s totally up to you to decide what to eat/avoid.
