How common is listeria poisoning in deli meats? i am 13 weeks pregnant, what should i do to avoid getting sick?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can't say for deli: meats in specific. The incidence of Listeriosis in pregnancy is 12 per 100,000. Thus it is a rare disease. Wash your hands after you handle hot dogs. Avoid cross-contaminating fluid from hot dogs packages with utensils or food prep surfaces. Ensure hot dogs or luncheon meats you eat have been reheated to the point that they are steaming hot. Avoid soft cheeses blue-veined cheeses; & Mexican-style
