Cold meal-deal sandwiches
Is it safe to eat cold chicken and stuffing sandwiches in early pregnancy?
I’ve just bought one from Tesco and now I’m panicking because Google is saying this can carry bacteria. Any advice?? TIA

Thank you so much! I’ve just thrown it away because I was panicking but I will remember this in future x
Cold deli meats can contain listeria which is a bacteria that can cause miscarriage. I wouldn’t risk it personally. If you get a cold meat sandwich you can kill the bacteria just by toasting it and heating it up well.
I’ve been eating Tesco meal deals my whole pregnancy (nearly 35 weeks now). ANYTHING can carry bacteria. Tesco is super well known for their meal deals and the quality that goes into them. It’s an American thing, saying you can’t eat cold deli meats like ones you’d get from a butcher’s. We don’t have the same legislations in the UK so this will be fine x
