A member asked:
10 weeks pregnant. i asked for freshly cooked nuggets from mcdonalds. i think they were more luke warm than hot! listeria risk? very worried for baby
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Low risk if any: The boiling point of cooking oil is 300c degrees while listeria is killed at 165c degrees. If your nuggets were cooked in boiling oil, but cooled later, the germ is still dead. You don't want your food to be too hot to eat without injury.
