Pregnancy guidance
RecommendedGouda cheese is recommended during pregnancy as a nutritious and safe dairy option. It supplies high amounts of calcium, vitamin B12, and protein to support maternal health and fetal skeletal growth. Firm, aged Gouda has low water activity that prevents the proliferation of Listeria bacteria. Cut cubes of pasteurized Gouda for a protein-rich snack alongside fresh grapes or raw almonds.
