Can I eat Dairylea

[MountAbora]

I’m a completely paranoid crazy person when it comes to food & what I am/ am not allowed but I am not sure about Dairylea & I really want it! My brain says it should be fine as it’s so processed I can’t see any bacteria staying but yet I’m still a bit nervous to eat it. I’m just under 12 weeks pregnant. Any ideas?

It's fine, eat it!

It's absolutely fine. It's pasteurised. Eat and enjoy.

Yes.

The soft cheeses you're meant to avoid are things like brie, camembert and gorgonzola. Cheese spreads are fine.

Of course you can, why would you not?? Its soft blue veined and mould ripened that you should avoid although if they've been cooked they're ok too.

I lived off cheese triangles in early pregnancy... you Will be fine eating it xx

Brilliant thanks to you all for replying. I’m off to break into the tub in my fridge 😋

I recommend the book Expecting Better if you are nervous about certain foods, it puts the risks into context and helps you make your own decisions on what is worth the risk.

I wouldn't - nothing to do with being pregnant though

@leghairdontcare I was about to post the same thing 🤢

I recently got my bfp and feeling pretty rough. The only thing I could get down was cheese triangles! lol

Yes! Dairylea was one of the only things I could stomach at the height of my HG! I still eat Dairylea dunkers as a snack at work

DairyLea is not what's meant by soft cheese 😂😂😂
