Vacuum sealed bacon in date and smelled fine, but it was slimy... i ate it and now i'm wondering if it's going to harm my pregnancy ? listeria?

Slimy bacon: If it smells fresh and looks pink the slime sensation may simply be due to fat extruding from the bacon. It is unlikely to be transmitted Listeria from a sealed package. Be well and have a great baby.
