Unpasteurized cheeses might contain harmful bacteria like Listeria, which can cause severe infections and complications during pregnancy. Pasteurization effectively kills these bacteria, making it a safer choice.
Baking camembert until it's thoroughly melted can reduce bacterial risk, but it's crucial to heat it to at least 75°C (165°F) and consume it immediately to ensure safety.
