This means that you are at increased risk of developing a food-related infection. The purpose of this diet is to help you avoid specific foods that are more likely to contain infection-causing organisms while allowing maximum healthy food choices. Choose foods from the “May eat” column and don’t choose foods in the “Do not eat” column. You may want to discuss the safety of these or other foods with your dietitian or care team.  \nIn general, we recommend this diet for the following:  \n• General oncology and cellular immunotherapy patients: follow this diet when you have a low white blood cell count. A low white blood cell count refers to a neutrophil count less than 1000 mm3 or when chemotherapy is held due to low neutrophil count  \n• Autologous transplant patients: follow this diet during the first three months after chemotherapy or transplant.  \n• Allogeneic transplant patients: follow this diet until you are off all immunosuppressive therapy such as cyclosporine, prednisone, tacrolimus, Myfortic®, sirolimus, or MMF.  \nGuidelines  \n\n| Food groups | You may eat |  | Do not eat |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Dairy\u003Cbr>| •\u003Cbr>•\u003Cbr>• | All pasteurized, grade “A” milk and milk products including eggnog, yogurt, ice cream, frozen yogurt, sherbet, ice cream bars, milkshakes, processed cheese slices and spreads, cream cheese, cottage cheese and ricotta cheese\u003Cbr>Dry, refrigerated, or frozen pasteurized whipped topping Commercially packaged hard and semi-soft cheeses such as cheddar, mozzarella, parmesan, Swiss, Monterey Jack, etc. | •\u003Cbr>•\u003Cbr>•\u003Cbr>•\u003Cbr>• | Non-pasteurized or raw milk and milk products made from non-pasteurized or raw milk.
