It's only unpasteurised cheeses you need to avoid and to my knowledge Mozzarella you get here is usually pasteurised

Dairy foods

Foods such as cheese, yoghurt and milk are all rich in calcium. Your body needs more calcium during pregnancy, especially during the last 10 weeks, when it's used to help strengthen your baby's bones.
Although you need to avoid some dairy products, such as soft or blue-veined cheeses, and unpasteurised goat's milk or goat's cheese, there are lots of dairy products which are safe to eat. These include:

• live or bio yoghurt,
• probiotic drinks,
• fromage frais,
• creme fraiche,
• soured cream,
• hard cheeses (such as cheddar and parmesan),
• feta,
• ricotta,
• mascarpone,
• cream cheese,
• mozzarella,
• cottage cheese, and
• processed cheese (such as cheese spreads).
