Is taramasalta pasteurized?

Question

I'm talking about the pink stuff we buy in pots.
I'm wondering if it's safe to eat whilst pregnant. It says it contains cream. But doesnt mention pasteurized or not....I'm assuming it would be but who knows??....
the eggs in it are smoked.

It's got a month left of life in it...but must be eaten in 48 hours once opened (in case that's a clue to pasteurization??!!)
