  • Can I Eat Any Lunch Meats?

    QUESTION

    Dear Nutritionist,
    I have a question regarding Listeria. I have been reading quite a few articles on the dangers of Listeria, specifically found in certain kinds of fish and meats and cheeses.

    I just wondered if all "lunch meats" or "deli meats" were off limits, or if there is a "safe" amount to eat or certain kinds that are safer than others. Would buying meats from a deli be better or worse than the pre-packed store bought meats? I miss my sandwiches!

    Thank you for your time!
    Melissa
