No Mexican Queso dip is not pasteurized or made from pasteurized cows milk.

So if you're pregnant or planning on becoming pregnant you should not eating any non pasteurized cheese or non pasteurized dairy products including the Mexican Queso Dip.

That is unless you heat the Mexican Queso Dip up to a hot enough temperature to kill the bacteria and Listeria contained in the non pasteurized dairy product.

Sometimes dairy products that haven't been pasteurized can contain bacteria including Listeria and cooking it or melting cheese helps get rid of that bacteria and Listeria to prevent problems with pregnancy.

But it's best to just avoid those dips and non pasteurized dairy products until the pregnancy is over with.
