Emily's honest take
It's wonderful you're thinking carefully about your food choices, mama! When it comes to feta, the main concern is usually *Listeria* bacteria, which can be present in unpasteurized soft cheeses. However, the good news is that cooking feta until it's bubbling and hot throughout (reaching an internal temperature of at least 165°F or 74°C) makes it safe, even if it wasn't pasteurized to begin with. This heat kills any harmful bacteria.
Always check with your OB for personalized advice.
