A member asked:
I'm 3 weeks pregnant, is it still safe to eat cold bologna sandwiches.?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
NO: Unheated lunch meats may contain listeria,a bacteria that causes listeriosis,an infection pregnant women are more susceptible to. It is only recommended to eat cold cuts like bologna if they're heated until they are "steaming hot." See http://www.newkidscenter.com/Deli-Meat-While-Pregnant.htm But it's important to eat healthy foods when pregnant, esp. 1st trimester, and bologna isn't very healthy.

Yes: All things in moderation, however. Good luck!
