Deli Meat

I tried making a poll, but it's not letting me click on it

anyways.... I know this is a hot topic on the bump. 

Are you avoiding deli meat? 

If not, are you heating it up, or eating it cold?

If you're eating it, do you eat the packaged stuff or straight from the counter?

What about things like garlic sausage, salami, pepperoni - do/would you eat those? heated or unheated?

No. 

Sometimes.

Counter.

I don't like that type of deli meat so it's a nonissue.

I eat deli meat not heated at least once a week. I'm such a rebel.

Trying to only eat it heated, but sometimes I'm in a hurry and just figure its better to eat then not to eat.  Places like subway I just get it toasted.  I but packaged stuff normally cause I get annoyed at the long deli line (live on Army post and its always crowded)

I eat peperoni slices sometime, but I don't heat it (I'm guessing I'm supposed to though)

Are you avoiding deli meat? No.

If not, are you heating it up, or eating it cold? Cold.

If you're eating it, do you eat the packaged stuff or straight from the counter? I get it sliced at the counter, either at Whole Foods or Publix.

What about things like garlic sausage, salami, pepperoni - do/would you eat those? heated or unheated? No.  I only eat turkey & chicken breast.

mostly because of baby - just too much unknown about nitrates during pregnancy... the more I read they are really not good anytime :)

ETA: Listeria in deli meat is not a scare for me - way more likely to get it from something else...

i really want some of this garlic sausage at xmas. i dont like living in fear and dont give into the hype of all this paranoia. i have never heard of a listeria outbreak in my city from deli meat. the only things i've seen recalled are beef and tomatoes.

I'm probably the worst. I eat it 4 days a week for lunch from the counter and never heated. I tried subbing with pb and j but it wasn't the same. I started this pregnancy very strict and now that I've researched it a little more, I'm fine with it.

I eat packaged deli meat unheated probably once a week. I have been on a sausage kick lately and I don't heat that up either. That would be gross. I do limit my seafood though. I am more worried about too much mercury than listeria from my turkey sandwich.

No, I'm not avoiding it. I also don't go out of my way to heat it up. And I'll eat packaged and counter deli meat. The main reason I'm avoiding salami/pepperoni/spicy meat is because of my heartburn but I'm still eating turkey and ham sandwiches.

I don't eat deli meat but I do eat pepperoni on pizza as it has been cooked.

If I had a craving for deli meat I'd just heat it in the microwave first.

I love deli meat, but had not been eating it.  Now that my nausea is gone (hopefully), I got some turkey from the counter.  I warmed it and enjoyed!

Not avoiding.

Heating up when I can, but I won't not eat it if that's all that's available.  Plus, I trust it more than things like tuna or chicken salad that might have been sitting out at places. 

Counter mostly, but sometimes packaged.

I don't really like any of those other things, so nbd.

With DD1 I was a vegetarian, so I didn't eat any of this stuff.

I avoid it during my first tri but pretty much had Subway, cold, weekly during my 2nd tri. Not as much during the 3rd tri but not because I've been avoiding it. Our schedule has changed and I don't need to grab it as an easy meal as often.

I always buy from a deli counter, and I heat it up. I don't see a point in avoiding it completely, but I would never eat it cold. I didn't eat cold deli meats before I was pregnant, so it's not that big of deal to me now.

I ate deli meats so rarely before that I haven't really had to "avoid" them now. We usually just cook the meat at home ourselves and I use the left-overs for sandwiches/lunches. Usually a ham, chicken or pork butt every week or week and a half.

I probably would eat deli meats if I was in a pinch though.

Are you avoiding deli meat? No

If not, are you heating it up, or eating it cold?  Both 

If you're eating it, do you eat the packaged stuff or straight from the counter? Prefer counter and eat at deli sandwich shops

What about things like garlic sausage, salami, pepperoni - do/would you eat those? heated or unheated? I only eat pepperoni anyway, but I only eat it on pizza.

Not avoiding deli meat. 

I eat deli meat cold, out of the package.  I don't generally like salami or that type of thing, but I do like pepperoni.  I eat it out of the package sometimes too.

I don't know how many times I've used that line. ;)

I've tried not to eat too much with nitrates, but sometimes a girl needs her bacon or pepperoni. The lunch meat thing I'm not going overboard with, but I'm really not worried about listeria in my sammich.

The only thing I avoid in pregnancy is alcohol.  I eat deli meat and don't heat it up.  My OB only suggested heating up rare cuts, which aren't something I like in general anyway.

Are you avoiding deli meat? No, just eating less.
If not, are you heating it up, or eating it cold? Usually when I eat it it's subway so I just get it toasted.
If you're eating it, do you eat the packaged stuff or straight from the counter? Subway
What about things like garlic sausage, salami, pepperoni do/would you eat those? heated or unheated? I've eaten pepperoni unheated but it's rare that I eat any of those even when not pregnant.
