Deli Meat

I know they say to stay away from deli meat so I have been..but lately I have been craving a turkey sub like nothing else. Have any of you ladies ever cooked the meat after you bought the sub or should I stay away all together??

they told me at the heath department to just wrm the meat to kill the bacteria. my doctor told me the same thing.

you can nuke the meat before eating it...nuke it then let it cool and put it back.

I eat italian grinders all the time

Ive been obsessed with turkey sandwiches and I've been eating alot of them. I'm not worried. They tell us to avoid a lot of things that have little or no risk

mmmmm.. I want a bologna sandwich so bad.

I always eat lots of turkey. My daughter will be here in Sept. I will let you know how things turn out.

My doctor told me you have more of a risk of getting into a car accident than getting sick from the bacteria you find in deli meats......and he said "you still see pregnant women driving, right?" So I actually never worried about it....I didn't eat them that often, only had them two or three times during my pregnancy, but I didn't think it was that big of a deal. However, I understand there is still a risk so avoiding isn't a bad idea. And I was also told that warming the meats in the microwave quick killed the bacteria.

I had to give in and eat one earlier today  

hehe..ladies, you are so funny. I think I will have a yummy sub tonight :-) Thanks for the advice, I will warm it before I eat it.

haha that made me laugh.


i ate deli meat and my son turned out perfectly fine.

Personally, my doc is not out to get me so I know he wouldn't tell me not to do something just for the fun of it. He did tell me that a lysteria (the bad bacteria found in lunch meat, hot dogs, and the like) outbreak has not happened in over 6 years in my region of the world. He said if I am craving something really bad I can eat it as long as I heat the meat to 160 degrees internal temp. Hope it helps your craving.

Yep that's pretty much exactly what mine said. He didn't want to freak me out and reassured me how rare it really is.....but gave me an alternative of heating it so I could still eat what I was craving.
