From the article:

These cheeses are not safe for you while you're pregnant:

Soft, mould-ripened cheeses, such as brie, camembert and chevre (a type of goat's cheese).

Blue-veined cheeses, such as danish blue and stilton.

Even if these cheeses are pasteurised, they still aren't safe to eat. That's because they are more moist and less acidic than other cheeses. It's this moistness and acidity which provide the perfect environment for listeria bacteria to grow.
