Lunch meats?

Question

If yes what is your go to?

Answer

The American Pregnancy Association has published information that the chances of getting listeria in the US from deli meats is pretty much nill. I got a lot of information about not eating them when I was pregnant with my twins seven years ago, but now my doctor agrees that it’s pretty outdated advice. I generally don’t eat them but for some reason when I’m pregnant I always want a ham or turkey sandwich for lunch 🤷‍♀️ I typically buy boarshead but I’d have no problem eating it if it were another brand.
Here’s a link to the APA page about it.

Turkey and I'm not much of a turkey fan but I crave turkey  sandwiches

Answer

I’m currently eating a ham sandwich and Doritos so I guess you know where I stand 😂 chances of getting sick from it are pretty slim. It’s definitely not the “healthiest” option, but moderation is key.

Answer

The advice you will receive will depend on the country your in I think! Here in the UK they say be cautious with cold cured meats like salami and prosciutto - many supermarket meats will have been treated or frozen so can be safe, but they say be cautious when buying fresh or from unknown sources. Pre-packed meat such as ham and corned beef is safe. Also any meats that have been cooked are safe I.e Salami on pizza. I occasionally treat myself to some cold Italian salami from the supermarket, I could honestly eat that stuff all day!

Answer

I don’t typically eat lunch meats in general but once in a while I will have a turkey sandwich and I’ve always been weird about lunch meats and won’t eat it after 2 days

Answer

Boars Head or a reputable, clean deli. -per my OB. I have craved deli sandwiches so this was her suggestion. She said just no more than once a week - twice at most.

Answer

The chance of listeria is pretty scary. I realize that listeria could be on many more things but it's not worth it to me to chance it right now. Plus it wasn't really a part of my diet before this.
