You will find that commercialy made/mass produced feta will be pastuerized hence the yes (most is made from cow milk rather than sheep/goat milk) however locally produced "real" feta wont be pastuerized and therefore holds the risk, hence the no.

You will find that what Neil says holds true for ALL cheese not just Feta and ESPECIALLY Piccorina and Parmejano cheeses which are not supposed to be pateurised anyway so watch out for your pasta too

Just to let anybody else know if they are ever concerned about feta cheese being pasteurized, i can know answear to my own question.

I e-mailed a restaurant owner and my reply was that all feta cheese that is served in restaurants is definatley pasteurized. But not to have any feta cheese that is offered by any local as that might be home made.
