Pregnancy and Raw Milk
The Dangers of Listeria and Pregnancy

Pregnant women run a serious risk of becoming ill from the bacteria Listeria which can cause:

Miscarriage
Fetal death or illness
Or death of a newborn

If you are pregnant, consuming raw milk - or foods made from raw milk, such as Mexican-style cheese like Queso Blanco or Queso Fresco - can harm your baby even if you don't feel sick.

Oh really? Mexican style cheese is made from raw milk? I had no idea any of the foods I ate had raw milk in them... interesting.

I know, so it's very important for all of us to read the labels on the foods we eat, especially for those of us that don't want to consume raw (unpasteurized) milk.
