Use your head and don't eat food that's been sitting out for 8+ hours. You'll be fine. Oh, and don't get drunk.

The oven roasted turkey you eat on Thanksgiving is definitely not the "oven roasted turkey" in the lunchmeat section.

But it would be bad to eat it if it's been sitting out for hours. And make sure to heat leftovers well.

No one with a clue says that. You are more likely to get listeria from a melon or lettuce.

And huge ::facepalm:: that someone would not know the difference.

There are actually OBs that do caution against eating deli meat without heating it first.

Never did I avoid deli meat. My OB said it;s fine. Some advise against it. Totally up to you. Eat food that its suppose to be hot, when it's hot. Cold when cold.

My comment remains. Not a one will tell you not to avoid lettuce or melons, despite the fact that there have been more recalls for listeria for that than for lunch meats. That was one recall almost 15 years ago.

Then again there are still OBs that tell women not to get pregnant the first 3 months off birth control as they could miscarry, even though that information is was proven wrong well over 20 years ago.

I don't disagree with you. I was just noting that there are people out there being told to avoid it.

One reason I love my OB is because when I asked about food restrictions, she told me "use common sense." Works for me!

You can eat deli meats if you heat them up to kill the germs. Make sure your turkey is cooked to at least 165 and you're fine. :)

I guess im clueless and youre a genius.
I was thinking about whats served at the thankgiving dinner i eat at my sister in laws house. Melon isnt part of my thankgiving dinner.

The original poster asked if the big real turkey you cook is like eating a cold cut. Its not. You can eat the turkey out of the oven.
If your family is serving deli turkey slices then i guess pop them in the microwave!!

My OB actually told me that I can eat deli meat. Im choosing not to really eat them too much i had one ham sandwich this monday. And for your info i soak my lettuce and other veggies or fruits in a apple cider vinager and water mix before i eat them.

We dont generally have a salad at thanksgiving. We have cold antipasto that consists of a lot of the italian deli meats that i feel are put out way before guests arrive followed by hot appetizers. Im avoiding those meats.
Thankgiving is different for everyone. I based my dumb answer on the thankgiving im use to. Sue me!

I guess they feel its been sitting in the deli fridge for a while. You dont know what could be growing on it. That would be my guess.

Id assume thats why some people recommend heating it up first... to kill what ever could be lurking on the cold cuts.

I had a whole wheat wrap with deli ham on monday at work. I didnt heat it up.

My OB said deli meats are OK. If theyre in your fridge for a week and youre second guessing if theyre fresh then obviously dont eat them. Thats what my doc said.

Personally Im trying not to have them but Ive been craving ham. And since I went to the doc on saturday & he gave me the green light I didnt waste anytime!

My OB says that prepackaged deli meat is ok, and to heat deli meat that is sliced in an on-site deli because it's the slicer-machine that can sometimes transfer listeria.

And so would any cheese or vegetables that you get from that place.

If you are eating at places that are that questionable in their sanitation practices, perhaps that is more what you should focus on.

Sure, listeria can be found in lots of things, but meat slicers are inherently difficult to clean. You can trust your deli/grocery all you like, but personally I don't know who last cleaned the meat slicer at my Kroger's. Think I'll just go with the advice my OB gave me and heat any on-site sliced deli meat I might eat. Hope you don't mind.

They have to follow health codes too you know. The last time there was a listeria panic from deli meats was over 15 years ago. 15. That's a long damn time for your Kroger's to be doing a good job cleaning.

You can do what you want. You can piss on it and eat it for all I care. That doesn't mean your OB isn't handing out fear mongering information. It's right up there with telling women that they are more likely to miscarry if they get pregnant the first couple months off birth control. It's been proven wrong for quite some time, and yet doctors continue to say it because they don't keep current on topics that pertain to their practice.

You are very passionate about people eating or not eating cold cuts.

I don't care what you do. Heat it up. It tastes like crap, but go for it. It is not necessary and is nothing more than paranoia, but if you are ok with that and it makes you feel better, whatever. Your lunch will just taste worse than it has to. Your loss. The fear mongering and "ZOMG your baby will die if you eat a piece of lunch meat" attitude that always shows up in these posts is ridiculous. And hilarious because people like you don't get how ridiculous you are being. And that's fine. It works for you and doesn't hurt anyone.

And you are right, a roasted turkey =/= cold cuts. And you could eat it even if it was the same thing because you can eat cold cuts if you choose.

And OBs telling you to avoid it are giving outdated info. That is a fact. Sorry.

Don't eat melons.

Do you read what i write?
My OB said i can eat it. He didnt say to heat it either. He just said make sure its fresh. I had an unheated ham sandwich monday. My doc said i could eat them on saturday. I ran out and had ham two days later.
Cold cuts arent even an issue for me because i eat them about twice a year. I dislike them because of the preservatives. Pregnant or not, theyre not my go to meal.
I also answered you earlier and said that i soak all of my fruits and veggies in a apple cider vinegar and water mix before i eat them.
Soooooo dont worry about me. I eat just fine. I wash my stuff the best i can. I eat what i crave. Thats how i survive pregnant or not.

Listeriosis may be rare, but listeria is still found in human and animal sh!t, among other things, and human handled deli sliced meats and cheeses are more prone to contamination. Those facts have not changed nor are they "outdated" information. Listeriosis is also still particularly dangerous to pregnant women and unborn babies -- and that fact has not changed nor is it "outdated" information.

Personally, I like hot sandwiches just fine and cold sandwiches will still be there when I am no longer pregnant. It's not a BFD for me to try to follow my OB's "ridiculous" advice.
