I ate Mozzarella and now i'm worrying!

[Baconbuttie88]

I've only recently found out that I'm pregnant (4 weeks today) and I'm learning new things day by day, however I was on auto pilot on my lunch break and grabbed a mozzarella and pesto wrap from M&S then I realised after I ploughed it down, I shouldn't. There isn't anything that says it's unpasteurized or pasteurized on the packaging either

I'm feeling terrified now!!

Mozzarella is fine, I had a very miserable Italian meal at about 6 weeks thinking it was bad but it's fine.

Mozzarella is fine

What's wrong with eating mozzarella when you're pregnant?

It will have been pasteurised if it's from M&S, not some artisanal deli.

Mozzarella was one of only a few things I could stomach during my second pregnancy. It's absolutely fine.

The only mozzarella you need to double check is the really fancy, expensive artisan buffalo mozzarella you might find in an authentic Italian deli. I doubt M&S are putting the good shit in their sandwiches.

Totally fine. Relax OP! Even if you ate something that the NHS actually advises against, the risk is ludicrously small.

i eat mozzerella all the time - i believe it's fine? am 20 weeks now

I have eaten it with most salads I've had through this entire pregnancy. It's a staple of mine. Don't worry about it!
