Pregnancy guidance
AvoidBrie cheese should be avoided during pregnancy unless it is cooked until steaming hot and bubbling throughout. Soft surface-ripened cheeses have higher moisture and lower acidity, allowing Listeria monocytogenes bacteria to thrive even if made from pasteurized milk. The CDC and FDA emphasize that unheated soft cheeses pose serious risks of miscarriage and preterm labor. You can safely enjoy Brie when it is baked completely to an internal temperature of 165°F.
