Greve cheese in pregnancy ?

[maymay6575]

Just got a meatball hot wrap from pret manager and it contains greve cheese is this safe ?

It's a Swedish cheese

Is it a hard cheese? Its soft, blue, mould ripened cheeses you should avoid unless cooked as cooking kills any bacteria

@dementedpixie I'm not very sure really but on the website it says all their cheeses are made from all pasteurised milk

@maymay6575 that is absolutely fine as it's a hard cheese and Pret will be using pasteurised cheese anyway.

I made a brie and cranberry melt (fine because the brie is cooked) but completely forgot while making it and munched a slice of raw brie in like I normally would. Midwife said it's probably fine, not a massive risk after 12 weeks anyway just don't do it again, and that was with one of the cheeses they recommend to avoid.

If you haven't already eat it! Sounds lovely!

If its hard and pasteurised then its fine to eat

It's fine - it's basically like Emmenthal, a semi hard pasteurised cheese. No problem at all.

Thank you for all your fast responses x

As a hard cheese it would even be fine if it were unpasteurised.
