Pregnancy guidance
RecommendedWhole-milk mozzarella cheese is recommended during pregnancy when produced from pasteurized milk. It offers high levels of dietary calcium, vitamin B12, and quality dairy protein for fetal growth. Verify that fresh mozzarella balls in brine specify pasteurized milk on their packaging before eating them cold. Melt whole-milk mozzarella over baked eggplant or cooked pasta dishes for optimal safety.
