You’ll find two common types of pasteurized options on this page:

• Pasteurized process/recipe cheese products: Often labeled with words like “pasteurized process,” “pasteurized recipe,” or “pasteurized process cheese food.” These include blocks, loaves, and individually wrapped slices.
• Natural cheeses made with pasteurized milk: Many sliced, shredded, crumbled, or block cheeses list “pasteurized milk” in the ingredients.

To confirm for any item, review the product title, read the ingredient list for “pasteurized milk,” and check the package images on the product page. Selection varies by location, so using pickup or delivery can help you see what’s available near you.

The quickest way is to read the label details on the product page and package images.

1. Check the title: Many products include “pasteurized” in the name.
2. Scan the ingredients: Look for “pasteurized milk,” “pasteurized process cheese,” “pasteurized recipe cheese product,” or “pasteurized process cheese food.”
3. Review photos: Packaging images often show pasteurization callouts.
4. Open the description: Some pages summarize processing and ingredients.

If anything is unclear, you can reach out through customer care or ask an associate in store to view the ingredient panel. Labels can change, so it’s always a good idea to double-check before purchasing.

Many pregnant shoppers choose cheeses that clearly state they’re made with pasteurized milk. Here’s a simple approach:

• Start with the label: Look for “pasteurized milk” or terms like “pasteurized process cheese” in the title, ingredients, or package images.
• Verify each item: Different styles (including soft or crumbled varieties) can be made with pasteurized milk—check the specific product page to confirm.
• When in doubt: Consider selecting items where pasteurization is plainly listed, or ask an associate to help review the packaging.

For personalized dietary guidance during pregnancy, it’s best to consult a healthcare professional.

The difference is usually shown right on the label:

• Pasteurized process/recipe cheese products: Labeled with phrases like “pasteurized process,” “pasteurized recipe,” or “pasteurized process cheese food.” Shoppers often choose these for consistent texture and easy melting in dips and sauces.
• Natural cheese: Typically described as “natural” slices, blocks, or shreds. The ingredient list may read “pasteurized milk,” along with cultures and enzymes. Flavor and texture vary by style.

To pick what fits your dish, read the product title and ingredient list on the item page. This can help you match the cheese style to the way you plan to use it.

Some pasteurized process cheese items are labeled as shelf-stable before opening, while many natural cheeses are refrigerated. To confirm for a specific product:

• Check the title/description: It may say “shelf stable” or include storage notes.
• Review package images: Look for directions like “store at room temperature” or “keep refrigerated.”
• Follow the packaging: Storage instructions on the package are the best guide.

Availability and storage requirements can vary by item and location. If you’re ordering for pickup or delivery, the item will be handled according to its labeled storage instructions.
