im confused as to what cheese i can and cant eat, i love feta and wenslydale and riocotta am i allowed these while pregnant also can i eat colslaw with mayo??

I think you can eat wensleydale as its a hard cheese but not feta. You can eat coleslaw if the mayo isn't homemade, so most shop bought is fine.

You can eat all pasturised cheese (it will say on the packaging and if I remember rightly feta isn't pasturised) and as pinky said re coleslaw

Ok i have just had to look up about feta cheese and according to websites i have looked at its fine to eat it. Good job really as i have been eating it as i was told it was safe.
