Pregnancy guidance
Safe with precautionsFeta cheese is safe with precautions during pregnancy only if the packaging explicitly states made with pasteurized milk. Feta provides calcium, vitamin B12, and riboflavin, but unpasteurized feta can harbor dangerous Listeria bacteria. The FDA and CDC warn against eating imported or artisanal feta unless verified pasteurized on the label. Crumble pasteurized feta into Greek salads or bake it until bubbling hot in casseroles.
