For those worried about contracting Listeria from cold cuts....

I've read so much about, "you need to avoid eating cold cut subs because you have a risk of getting Listeria." So I decided to not take someone word for it and look up Listeria cases in the U.S. to get some facts. And upon doing some research I discovered that in the last 5 years you have a better chance of getting Listeria from your run of the mill dairy products sold in local grocery stores. A link to the United States CDC page on Listeria is included below. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm going to Subway!

Now this is not a stab at anyone who feels strongly about other chemicals that may be in processed, packaged meat. I'm just pointing out that Listeria is no longer a primary concern when it comes to the age old topic of Cold Cuts; To Eat or Not To Eat.
