Harmful?

Question

Craving to eat deli meat. Is it harmful? I am 9w3d

Answer

Deli meat isn’t inherently harmful (unlike alcohol) but has a higher risk for listeria. Many OBs say heat it up and you’re fine. Others say buying prepackaged or from a reputable source is fine because the risk is lower. 
I think it’s up to you to decide what risks you’re willing to take.

Answer

I eat deli meat but always grill my sandwich

Answer

I probably have eaten between 2-5 turkeys sandwiches a week my entire pregnancy I’m 33 weeks, had one today btw

Answer

Sliced deli meat has an increased risk of food borne illness but you can heat it up to ensure bacteria is killed. You can also slice your own at home.

Answer

Not at all! When I'm itching for some sliced turkey, I zap it for 15 seconds as instructed.
