Pregnancy guidance
RecommendedIs provolone safe during pregnancy? Yes, when the label says it is made with pasteurized milk. CDC lists pasteurized hard cheeses as safer choices and any cheese made with raw milk as riskier. CDC: safer food choices in pregnancy
FDA notes that some cheeses are not made with pasteurized milk, especially those sold locally, so check the label. FDA: dairy and eggs for moms-to-be
CDC lists unheated cheese sliced at a deli as a riskier choice; heat counter-sliced provolone to 165°F or until steaming hot, as in a hot sandwich. CDC: safer food choices in pregnancy
