Raclette

Has anyone had one of these?

I'm a bit worried as I'm supposed to be going round to someone's house tonight for dinner and they are doing Raclette cheese but i'm sure its unpasteurised. Does anyone know? I don't want to eat it if its going to put my baby at risk but I don't want to appear fussy.

just found this link https://www.norbitoncheese.co.uk/stock/Stock.aspx?LinkID=4&SubLinkID=69 which states that "Unpasteurised cheeses imported from abroad or made by small producers are also safe to eat in pregnancy provided they are made from cow's milk and are not mould-ripened or blue-veined." but also says "On the other hand, unpasteurised milk (from any animal) is not considered safe. In the USA, pregnant women are advised to avoid feta cheese because of the risk of listeria, but the feta cheese sold in the UK is considered safe to eat during pregnancy." so i'm super confused. lol

raclette is made with pasteurized cheese, they use either a type of emmentaler or gruyere so you don't have to worry, plus it's cooked so even if unpasteurized it won't matter
