Pregnancy guidance
Safe with precautionsShredded Mexican blend cheese is safe with precautions during pregnancy when produced with pasteurized milk. It provides abundant calcium, complete protein, and vitamin B12 to support maternal bone strength and fetal development. Most commercially packaged shredded cheeses in supermarkets use pasteurized milk, which effectively destroys bacterial pathogens. Melt the cheese over cooked bean tacos or warm corn tortillas for a nourishing meal.
