Babydust - you can go back to eating all the listeria no no's as soon as your baby is born. It is not transmitted through breastmilk. Afte my last baby was born I had Brie on crackers!

In a non pregnant person listeria is quite a non event. Many people wouldn't realise they had it - of coursed immuno compromised folk would have a greater reaction...

The other thing that you need to be careful to avoid (aside from deli products, soft cheese etc) is salads. Salads on burgers etc are lovely places for Listeria to grow...
