Answer 2

Feta cheese could be harmful to a pregnancy. There is the possibility of spontaneous abortion if the cheese contains Listeria. Soft or semi-soft cheeses made from unpasteurized milk have a higher likelihood of being contaminated with the bacteria. ANSWER Feta is not a soft, unpasteurized cheese and is safe to eat during pregnancy. See the weblink for those cheeses you should and should not eat. One link says it is unsafe but in fact feta is made with pasteurized milk. Additional thought Not all feta is made from pasteurized milk. That will depend on where the cheese was made, the laws where you purchase the cheese and whether or not those laws are enforced. Verify that it has been pasteurized. If you can't, then avoid it.
