lunch meat?

Question

Since I've found out I'm pregnant I have non-stop had the craving for lunch meat of all kinds. What should I look for when eating a sandwhich or should I just try and avoid it at all costs?

Answer

Lunch meat is fine, but some people prefer to heat it up beforehand to be extra cautious. If you’re in the US, there hasn’t been a listeria outbreak traced to lunch meat in more than 20 years (which is the original concern with deli meats).

Answer

this is my 3rd pregnancy and I've never heated lunch meat during any of them. as long as it's in date I don't see the issue. listeria.. sure,  I get it. but I've never heard of anyone actually getting that.

Answer

I'm on baby #4 and don't worry about it as much this time... I typically don't get sandwiches from places like subway unless I get them toasted because I can't guarantee their standards. 
I just make sure when I buy lunch meat that I buy ones that say 'fully cooked' on the package.

Answer

Been eating it my entire pregnancy

Answer

You can also have it in a panini so long as it’s heated all the way through

Answer

I was told at the beginning of pregnancy that I can't eat whatever lunch meat as long as I heat it up first. it can be heated up in the microwave and then put in the freezer/fridge to cool down. I did that a couple times. I'm almost 32 weeks now and I have a lunch meat sandwich everyday and I don't heat it up at all. it's just recommended because of lysteria.
