Can I Have Burrata While Pregnant?

Hello. While I'm a psychiatrist and my primary field of expertise is mental health, I can tell you that generally, pregnant women are advised to avoid eating soft cheeses, including burrata, due to the risk of listeria. Listeria is a type of bacteria that can be harmful to you and your baby.

If the cheese is made from pasteurized milk, it should be safe to consume. Pasteurization kills harmful bacteria, including listeria. However, it's always best to consult with your obstetrician or a dietary specialist for any pregnancy-related nutrition concerns.

Absolutely, the health of you and your baby is of utmost importance. Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any concerns relating to stress or mental health during your pregnancy, as this is my field of expertise.
