Specializes in Family Medicine

Low risk: Listeria is found in other food, more often, not properly cooked, than in a lemon squeezed into water. If we worried about every possible infection we could get, we would be too anxious all the time. I think you will be fine. Congratulations on your pregnancy, and god bless.
