Can I eat cooked sandwich meat?

Question

I can’t find an answer to this. I bought cooked turkey slices to make up a lunch for work tomorrow and then it hit me that I don’t know if it’s safe or not or if it counts as deli meat. 
Just to add, I have the same problem with coleslaw, can I eat store bought or no? 😖
Sorry if these are silly questions it’s my first pregnancy and I’m paranoid!

Answer

I've always eaten cold sandwich meat while pregnant. You're at no greater risk for listeria than when you aren't pregnant.

Answer

I ate cold sandwiches weekly and pregnancy. You have the same low risk of listeria eating fruits, vegetables and soft serve ice cream.

Answer

You can eat it. It used to be a concern back in the day but it is very outdated. You don’t have to heat it up either. I’ve eaten Jimmy John’s or Subway almost every other day and I’m 35+3!

Answer

I was so worried about lunch meat for so long! As long as it has been properly refrigerated, you should be fine. My midwife says not to worry about most of the things you hear not to eat while pregnant. Lots are old wives tales.

Answer

Yes you can have it. Don’t have to warm it up either.

Answer

Warming up deli or lunch meat is old news lol u can eat it as u normally would. And yes u can have cole slaw.

Answer

Just came across this on the NHS website so looks like I’m okay?

Answer

I know you’ll need to heat up the sandwich meat.
