What kinds of sickness can you get if you eat week old cheese?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on type of…: …cheese: unpasteurized ones (goat cheeses, feta, blue, brie, emmentaler, comté, gryere, etc) although required by fda to be aged at least 60 days so acids & salts & ageing process may naturally prevent harmful bacteria from growing. Such cheeses may still present health hazard if not properly cared for. Pasteurized cheese should not present a problem. If in doubt, don't eat it.
