Emily's honest take
Oh, mama, I know how tempting a creamy slice of brie can be! The general guideline from health organizations like the NHS, CDC, and FDA is to be cautious with soft, mold-ripened cheeses like brie because they can sometimes harbor *Listeria* bacteria, which can be harmful during pregnancy. Even if brie is made with pasteurized milk, its high moisture content means it can still pose a risk if eaten cold or at room temperature. The safest way to enjoy brie is to make sure it's cooked thoroughly until it's steaming hot all the way through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), which kills any potential bacteria.
Always check with your OB for personalized advice, mama.
