Brie...?

[TokenGinger]

I've just been reading on my app that Brie is fine as long as it's pasteurised. President Brie is made from pasteurised milk so I have high hopes that this will be okay for Christmas Day.

My app, however, is American and on those message boards, tons of things we can have, they say they can't, so I just thought I'd check out here if anybody knows if pasteurised cheeses are okay?

Nhs website is best to go by - says no Brie unless cooked

Thank you! I'll make sure I stick to that. I got so excited 😫

Most Brie in supermarkets I frequent is pasteurised.

@lljkk Have you eaten it during pregnancy?

Soft cheeses with white rinds
Don't eat mould-ripened soft cheese (cheeses with a white rind) such as brie and camembert. This includes mould-ripened soft goats' cheese, such as chèvre. These cheeses are only safe to eat in pregnancy if they've been cooked.

I found out I was pregnant at 12 weeks and I was eating Brie tho funnily enough

Just shove it in the oven and have it piping hot with crusty bread and chutney safe and still getting your brie fix !

pasteurised Brie, sure, Sainsbury's :)

If it's possible to get immunity to Listeria, I''ve probably got that, too. 1970s childhood rolling in muck & eating anything.

With brie it’s about the mould rind so even if pasteurised it’s on the no list.

I really miss it! After I had DD1 my DH cut some in to bite size chunks so I could eat it while feeding her. Bliss!

I never liked Brie until I became pregnant.

A very good family friend of mine is a senior midwife and I asked her about Brie....It's honestly my favourite food, my husband even brought me some in hospital after I had my 1st haha. Anyway my friend said, truthfully, Brie is literally one of the ONLY things she would never ever recommend a pregnant lady eats. She said to me to go for it having a Prosseco or 2 on Xmas day with food...But Brie really is a no. Neither you or baby want to catch Listeria when pregnant...cooked is fine. Slightly heart broken here haha just 23 weeks to go until my next taste of brie haha

Listeria is very rare but if you get it the consequences for the baby are severe. I reeeeaaally missed Brie during pregnancy, and Camembert even more. But you can eat it baked with bread and chutney instead. 😁
