Can You Eat Parmesan Cheese While Pregnant?

Many women are concerned about the foods they eat and whether they are safe for their babies during pregnancy. The good news is that Parmesan cheese is safe to consume during pregnancy.

Although most authentic parmesan cheese is made from raw milk -- like other hard, aged cheeses -- it has a low moisture content. This, combined with its high salt content, makes it inhospitable to bacteria.   

Still, it's always a good idea to consult with your healthcare provider about your specific dietary concerns during pregnancy.
