Listeria... can I eat....

[satya]

My GP & OB have warned me about listeria. Due to my history I am being extra careful so don't want to take any risks with food.

They say you can't have deli meats so does this mean bacon as well or because you are cooking it does that mean it's OK?

Same question for pizza - it would have ham and bacon - ham is a no no so I'm presuming that means no pizza.

Anyone know?????

If ham has been cooked and you are eating it nice and hot, then that is fine Same with bacon

Yep as long as it's piping hot you're fine.

hot hot hot! as long as it's been heated over 65 degrees and hasn't been in a bain marie for ages ( like pizza in a food court setting)

Im lucky, my favourite pizza is plain old Cheese with BBQ sauce yummmmmoooo. Yeh but just make sure its freshly made and hot

I agree with others - so long as its hot. I had ham sandwiches the whole way through pregnancy with DD and this one - just nuked it so it was steaming hot and only used a freshly opened packet of ham. I'd kill for a cold ham and brie sandwich!
