I have coke to drink (but i am not a coffe or tea drinker) and dont drink it all the time, caffeine is ok on a daily basis as long as not to excess.

As for the food on the listeria list i was eating ham till about 12 weeks when i couldnt face it anymore BUT i would get it cut fresh and eat in that day!!

Food handling in austarila is very good and i am very pickey where I will eat from.

Thats very sad about your frined.
