Pregnancy guidance
Safe with precautionsIs fontina safe during pregnancy? Choose fontina labeled as made with pasteurized milk. CDC lists any cheese made with raw milk as a riskier choice in pregnancy, and raw-milk cheeses heated to 165°F or until steaming hot as safer. CDC: safer food choices in pregnancy
FDA notes that some cheeses, especially specialty or locally sold ones, are not made with pasteurized milk, so read the label or ask. FDA: dairy and eggs for moms-to-be
