A member asked:
Pregnant. cooked chicken this afternoon, refrigerated it. can i eat it cold for dinner or is there risk of listeria?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sure: Listeria is a bacterium usually transmitted by contaminated dairy products, not by chicken. As long as you carefully clean your pots and plates and utensils and have a clean water supply you shouldn't be worrying about food contamination. Good luck with your pregnancy!!
