Tesco creamfields mozzarella

Is this ok to eat? Doesn't say made with pasteurised milk on the back. Nor does it say its unpasteurised 🤔

Mozzarella is fine to eat in pregnancy 🤰🏼

Even cold?

Yes ... even cold

Yup, yummy! Enjoy

Thanks! 😋

If in doubt, I just check the nhs page. Mozzarella is specifically listed as safe www.nhs.uk/conditions/pregnancy-and-baby/foods-to-avoid-pregnant/#some-types-of-cheese 👍

Thanks @Melamine - nhs was my first port of call. It says:

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:
• mozzarella

However I wasn't sure if the product I had was pasturised or not!

OP wasn’t asking if mozzarella is safe. She was asking if this particular brand is made with pasteurised milk.

OP, I don’t know for sure (and if you email Tesco they should tell you) but as a general rule of thumb unpasteurised mozzarella tends to be quite a premium, niche product requiring careful storage etc and with a shorter shelf life. I think it’s unlikely that the Tesco Creamfields brand will be made with raw milk.

It would say on the packet if it was unpasteurised

Sorry, turns out I’ve not read the NHS advice properly! I actually recently had a pizza with that mega expensive buffalo mozzarella on it which I now realise may not have been pasteurised, (& hadn’t really melted either) and I ate it! Living life on the edge...without even realising!

I'm pretty sure unpasteurised/raw dairy products have to be labelled as such - so if it doesn't say anything you can assume it's pasturised.
