Just had to share:

Was talking to MIL about how the rules had changed and how stoked I was to be able to eat brie again and 'what a pity' I'd have to eat a whole wheel in one sitting because it had to be opened that day, and she said (all concerned) 'oh, but you can buy those individual small wedges'. When I pointed out she was missing the beauty of the situation , my perpetually dieting MIL looked at me like I was an alien creature ]]> Fri, 09 Nov 2007 21:27:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12090&PID=244467&title=brie-cheese#244467 <![CDATA[Brie cheese : Only thing my doctor said to me...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12090&PID=243309&title=brie-cheese#243309 Author: Mazzy

Only thing my doctor said to me was to be careful with the ones that are not vacumn packed, as if they are sitting on the shelf in the supermarket next to an unpasturised cheese and only in a loose wrapper, than that can cause issues? SO HAPPY about the change in advice! Makes Christmas so much easier with all the yummy platters my family puts out.]]> Thu, 08 Nov 2007 10:01:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12090&PID=243309&title=brie-cheese#243309 <![CDATA[Brie cheese : All cheeses sold in NZ had to...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12090&PID=243302&title=brie-cheese#243302 Author: LizzyJ

All cheeses sold in NZ had to be made of pasturised milk propr to July 1st this year, then some imported specialty cheeses made of non pasturised milk are now allowed to be sold.

Just read the back of the pack if you have any concerns, ensure they are eaten within 2 hours of being removed from the refrigerator (this can eliminate some cheese boards when at parties etc, when you are unsure how long they have been sitting there).

There is nothing wrong with blue vein, as long as its made with pasturised milk (costello is, anchor and mainland cheese are also).

I love soft cheeses so did a lot of research ont his as to why they are banned in pregnancy and found that overseas avoid in NZ not a problem. (ie don't eat soft cheese in australia where they have different laws).]]> Thu, 08 Nov 2007 09:47:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12090&PID=243302&title=brie-cheese#243302 <![CDATA[Brie cheese : Woo hoo, cheese is my chocolate...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12090&PID=242982&title=brie-cheese#242982 Author: Danash

Woo hoo, cheese is my chocolate and I really really miss it!  I know what my next snack is going to be.  That has just made my day! What a fantastic post - thanks yummymummy!!  (blue vein is my fav though so I'll stay away from that for now)

Yip, Latest book says soft cheeses are fine but have to be eaten on the day they are opened (not to hard, and what an excuse!). All NZ cheeses have to be paturised so as long as you are buying NZ cheeses you are sweet.

I LOVE cheese also!]]> Wed, 07 Nov 2007 10:57:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12090&PID=242791&title=brie-cheese#242791 <![CDATA[Brie cheese : tishy wrote:Bobbie, the imported...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12090&PID=242789&title=brie-cheese#242789 Author: Bobbie

I've eaten brie & camambert etc on occasion. I've read somewhere that all (if not, most) NZ soft cheeses have been made with pasturised milk so are ok to eat. I've only eaten them if I've bought them myself though & not from a restaurant as you can't be sure how they've stored them or how old they are.

I LOVE cheese ]]> Wed, 07 Nov 2007 10:48:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12090&PID=242782&title=brie-cheese#242782 <![CDATA[Brie cheese : Bobbie, the imported cheeses no...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12090&PID=242778&title=brie-cheese#242778 Author: tishy

Yeah from what I understand all NZ cheeses (and those imported) have to be pasturised. In any case so long as they are then you're fine to eat them. But ditto on what Amber said - don't leave it around for too long (not an issue in my house )

We just covered it in our antenatal class on Monday and she said the FSA now say it's fine as long as it's pasteurized and most (maybe all???) NZ cheeses are. My midwife did tell me that as long as it was NZ made it would be fine. But you eat it when you open it and not once its been left for a while. If you are going to eat it later you need to heat it to 70 degrees to be "safe".]]> Wed, 07 Nov 2007 10:27:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12090&PID=242754&title=brie-cheese#242754 <![CDATA[Brie cheese : Depends on who you talk to or...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12090&PID=242744&title=brie-cheese#242744 Author: tishy

Depends on who you talk to or the information you read.
Basically it's unpasteurized cheese that is a huge no no.

I eat Brie / Camembert if it's straight out of the fridge. But tend to stay away from the blue cheese.

Speaking of which the latest edition of Taste magazine has a recipe involving melting a block of brie and crusty bread... Will be trying that this week ]]> Wed, 07 Nov 2007 10:14:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12090&PID=242744&title=brie-cheese#242744 <![CDATA[Brie cheese : brie and cambert (sp?) are fine,,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12090&PID=242726&title=brie-cheese#242726 Author: Kazzle

As I'm sitting here munching my way thru a round of Brie cheese - it just occured to me that it may not be allowed while pregnant. Can't think where my booklet on food guidelines is so does anyone know if Brie is OK or not?]]> Wed, 07 Nov 2007 09:53:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12090&PID=242720&title=brie-cheese#242720
