I’ve eaten a cold hot dog and now I’m an anxious mess

[Theirmumxx]

😭😭 literally can’t stop thinking about it. Ate a cold hot dog from out of the jar and only came to realise after that I probably shouldn’t have because of listeria risk. Now I can’t rest. X

Has anyone ever done this or something similar, I know listeria is rare but I can’t stop thinking about it 😞😞

They are meant to be eaten cold or hot.

it’s not a big deal. You’ll be fine.

You’ll be fine. Try not to worry about everything or you’ll really struggle in pregnancy.

Completely fine. Something to go by is ‘if you wouldn’t risk it when not pregnant, don’t risk it when pregnant’ - cold hot dogs are eaten by many many many non pregnant people! They would have got listeria too - it’s not specific to pregnancy x

They do cook them before they go in the tin. I use cold hot dogs out of the tin cut up in salads. Been doing it for years, including when preggers.

Have you read the ingredients?! Those things would survive nuclear war. Mechanically separated meat, fat, skin, stabilisers, e numbers, sugar, preservatives.... You'll be fine, you are not getting listeria
