HELP! can I eat shop bought pesto?

[Per16]

Realllly want to have it for dinner but not sure if it is safe as it has that cheese in it?

 

[Fairyland]

what cheese? and I'm sure it'll be safe, don't see why it wouldn't be.

If the cheese is pasturized then it's fine.

just a little did bit for those in the USA. It is NEAR impossible to get unpasteurized cheese. infact I almost want to say that I think someone told me that it is illegal to sell unpasteurized cheese in the US.....but that seems kinda extreme to me so I don't know if that is true.

you would pretty much have to go to a cheese farm and buy it right from the farmer. Now in places like europe it is very common to have unpasteurized cheese and I know in Canada I can find it very easily. there is noway (in my opinion) that they would put unpasteurized cheese in a prepackaged pesto.

ENJOY IT!!!

Pesto is made with parmeasen (spelled wrong) cheese. Which is a dry cheese and should be fine. I make it myself really all u have to do is make sure you really clean the basil. I also added spinach in my last batch, for some natural folic acid. Yesterday, I had it with rice cakes and cucumbers. If you have a food processor id suggest trying it. Its super easy.
