re: mexican cheese the queso dip

I lived off that stuff when I was pregnant. I'm sure if it's heated it's okay. Queso blanco and queso fresco are a no-no, but it's hard to get that kind of cheese unless you're at an authentic Mexican restaurant.

True. A lot of the Mexican restaurants (especially around here) use white American cheese for their dip. Not exactly healthy, but its not dangerous

thanks so much this has helped me a lot  

You are supposed to stay away from queso blanco, queso fresco and panela. Thats what i heard. It has to be pasteurized. But you can make a killer queso yourself and buy only the good cheese and salsa that YOU know is safe. Its realllly yummy!
