No risk, no worry: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is not likely to be transmitted through food. Catching CMV during pregnancy is dangerous for the baby, but in adults most new infections are acquired by sex with an infected partner. If not at risk for STDs, there is little if any risk. Anyway, by age 32 most people already have the virus, but such longstanding infections carry little risk for serious infections of newborns.
