A member asked:
If i cook soft cheeses, eg feta on top of pizza baked, would that be safe to eat while pregnant bc the heat would kill any bacteria?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Safe vs Sorry: Listeria is a bacteria found in soft cheeses. It's possible that the heat from the oven would kill the bacteria. It is also possible that some of the bacteria would not be killed. Since pregnant women are 20 times more likely to get an infection from listeria i would rather you be safe than sorry.
