I have found with eating to just follow my gut, it has served me well so far. Had one time when I just looked at most of the food and went "I can't eat that". I was right, almost everyone else got food poisoning.
Yes there is a risk of listeria, it is up to each of us to decide what our riskiness is when eating. I find being able to eat a range of foods and not stressing to be very important, so tend to be a bit relaxed about the guidelines. I do admit though for using the pregnancy excuse to avoid foods I don't like without insulting the person offering the dish. Easier to say I'm pregnant than explain I don't like smoked salmon or brie.
