Is Boursin on the soft cheese list??

Lizlu

I wanted to make this awesome recipe for Christmas that calls for Boursin soft cheese.  Is this one of the no no's on our list of things you shouldn't eat while pregnant?  When I was pg the first time I had all this stuff memorized but now I'm like totally forgetting everything.  TIA!

Check to make sure it's pasturized.  If it is your good to go!  Or if the recipe calls for it to be cooked, then it's like the deli meat rule where as long as it's steaming.  I love that cheese!

I am 98% sure that is pasteurized.. just double check to be sure. Mmmm.. that stuff is sooooooo good!

If it's sold in the US it's almost guaranteed to be pasteurized. There are definitely exceptions to this so check the ingredients.

 

ETA: God bless pasteurized brie. Mmmmmmmm

Boursin is made with?pasteurized?milk so its fine to eat while pregnant. I almost?devoured?an entire thing of it the other day and I remember checking first. lol

I LOVE that stuff!!!! I was in France for a semester in grad school, and I LIVED on Boursin and Baguettes everyday! I was so happy to come home and see that its here. I bought some the other day, and its already gone!!!

that reminds me...we have some in the fridge. yum.

My dh does this amazing thing with beating flat chicken breasts and the rolling sliced boursin with it and frying it. Totally worth the cholesterol.
