Er, is Ricotta cheese pasteurised? No idea and about to tuck into a plate of spinach and ricotta tortelloni

Title says it all really! Not sure if it's on the "steer clear" list

Yes it's fine. And doubly fine if cooked.

Phew just googled and it looks safe- stand down panic over (Was expecting fish and chips from dh's hunter gatherer expedition though so bit of a disappointment in some respects)

I ate loads of this when pregnant. And since. Dd nearly one, didn't do her any harm. As far as I know!

Any well cooked soft cheese is ok. this is a good website for this sort of question

Yeah, no need to worry about ricotta. See the Food Standards Agency's site for the official advice on what foods to avoid when you're pregnant. Here: www.eatwell.gov.uk/agesandstages/pregnancy/whenyrpregnant/
