Ricotta on a pizza ok

[RMarieClaire]

I picked up a pizza on my way home as I do not have the energy to cook tonight. It's spinach and ricotta (and looks so good 🤤) but it doesn't state explicitly that the ricotta is pasteurised.

Any idea whether I can eat this? It'll be cooked for maybe 10 minutes.

Cheese is a minefield!

Thank you

Any cheese that will be cooked is fine

It’s fine uncooked. Just google nhs food pregnancy and all the info is there to check

I just meant even if it was blue or mould ripened or unpasteurised it would still be fine if cooked

NHS says ricotta should be pasteurised but this is irrelevant if it’s going to be cooked.

THANK YOU! I am eating the pizza - over cooked it a bit just in case - and it's wonderful.
