Is cold cooked salmon safe?

Question

I baked the salmon myself and then made like a salmon dip out of it. It's been in the fridge overnight and I want to eat it for lunch. Is this safe? Is there a risk of listeria?

Answer

You're fine. The cold meat listeria risk is very very outdated.

Answer

If you cooked it and prepared it yourself I don't see the harm. IF there had been listeria on the salmon then cooking it would've killed it. I don't think listeria would've crawled into your fridge overnight.

Answer

I was told I was at greater risk of getting listeria eating lettuce so I would say you're okay!

Answer

The salmon has been cooked and then put back in the fridge. As long as you covered it well you are fine. It's like heating up deli meat and then putting it back in the fridge to cool down again. The chances of getting listeria are super slim and you are more likely to get it on produce then you are meat. If the listeria wasn't on the salmon before it won't get there in your fridge unless your fridge just happens to be contaminated. And in which case I think you would have bigger issues at that point.
