Most likely fine: There have been a few episodes in which women have eaten deli meats with the bacteria Listeria. Though Listeria has been associated with illness and fetal death, this is not an everyday occurrence. What is done is done and statistically you are most likely fine. From now on avoid uncooked meats. Deli meats can be ok if they are cooked. Resource. http://www.cdc.gov/listeria/prevention.html
