Is cream cheese ok to eat in pregnancy?

I've made an (unbaked) cheesecake to take to a friends' house but just remembered one of the guests is pregnant. I don't want her to be left out of dessert so wanted to check if it was ok for her to eat?
It's only the cream cheese I'm questioning, all other ingredients are ok!

NHS guidelines:
Soft cheeses that are safe to eat in pregnancy
Other than mould-ripened soft cheeses, all other soft types of cheese are OK to eat, provided they're made from pasteurised milk.

These include:

cottage cheese
mozzarella
feta
cream cheese
paneer
ricotta
halloumi
goats' cheese
processed cheeses, such as cheese spreads

Thank you!
I did a quick panic search and found two conflicting views so knew I'd get more sense on here Smile
