A member asked:
Can deli ham and turkey that says cooked on package still cause listeria? might be pregnant, not sure if ok to eat ham & turkey sandwich.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Food borne bacteria: Any bacterium can infect anyone when not properly refrigerated or cooked to an appropriate temperature prior to ingestion. Pre cooked and packaged foods still require the same conditions and if you are unsure of the above, common sense says to forego partaking the food item, pregnant or not.
