I messed up any advice on this?

Question

So I'm 8wks pregnant and today I accidentally took like 3 or 4 bites of a slim Jim before I realized I can't eat dried meat! I just didn't even think about it, it sounded so damn good! 
I of course gave it back to my fiancé right then! Do you think I'm ok? My next apt is June 5th. It wasn't allot like I said maybe 4 small bites at most but should I be worried?

Answer

Why can't you eat dried meats?? I was never told that and have never heard that. I'm positive you are fine since that's not on my list of things to not eat

Answer

What!? 😧 You can eat jerky or Slim Jims while pregnant

Answer

You're totally fine. Try not to stress about every little thing you're eating, a slim Jim is really okay. I've never heard of avoiding dry meat.

Answer

The reason dried meats and processed meats are "off-limits" is because your chances of getting food borne illness from them is higher, which can be more serious in pregnancy. 
I wouldn't stress about taking a couple bites of something, just continue to restrict those foods in your diet or if you do eat them, heat until smoking hot to kill off potentially harmful bacteria.

Answer

Dried meats are fine, you want my to limit the amount of nitrates you consume, but really a few bites is not a big deal. Pepperoni and salami type meats are actually the only sandwich meat you can eat.
You are fine.

Answer

It's fine to eat just watch your salt intake
