Pregnancy guidance

Safe with precautions

Brick cheese is safe with precautions during pregnancy provided it is made with pasteurized milk. It delivers substantial dietary calcium, vitamin B12, and protein to support fetal bone and tissue growth. Always check the ingredient packaging to confirm the milk was pasteurized before consuming it cold. When pasteurization status is uncertain, melt the cheese thoroughly until steaming hot before eating.
