Pregnancy guidance
Safe with precautionsWhole-milk ricotta cheese is safe with precautions during pregnancy when made from pasteurized milk. It provides gentle dietary calcium, protein, and riboflavin for maternal and fetal nourishment. Because ricotta is a moist fresh cheese, confirm pasteurization on the container and consume within several days of opening. Bake ricotta into piping hot lasagna or dollop onto warm roasted vegetables.
