Pregnancy guidance
RecommendedIs Swiss cheese safe during pregnancy? Yes, when it is made with pasteurized milk: CDC lists Swiss, Gruyère, and Emmental among hard cheeses that are safer choices when made with pasteurized milk, and lists any cheese made with raw milk as riskier. CDC: safer food choices in pregnancy
CDC also lists unheated cheese sliced at a deli as a riskier choice, so heat counter-sliced Swiss to 165°F or until steaming hot, as in a melted sandwich. CDC: safer food choices in pregnancy
