OK. You're a crazy paranoid pregnant lady. Obviously an exaggeration, but for sure there was no risk of listeria or any other fool borne infection from the events you describe.

I was going to respond by calling you that, but I see that Dr. H has already beat me to it. Regardless, you would not be a risk of getting listeria in this scenario. GoI’d luck, and congratulations on the pregnancy.
