  During pregnancy, it is important to be aware of what you put inside your body. You should be aware of what is good to eat and also what is not so good to eat because some foods may cause you to contract listeria during pregnancy. Listeria is a type of bacteria that can be found in some contaminated foods. Listeria can cause problems for both you and your baby. Although listeriosis (the illness from ingesting Listeria) is rare, pregnant women are more susceptible to it than non-pregnant healthy adults. […] Following these guidelines can greatly reduce your chances of contracting listeria in pregnancy: Eat hard cheeses instead of soft cheeses: The CDC has recommended that pregnant women avoid soft cheeses such as feta, Brie, Camembert, blue-veined cheeses and Mexican style cheeses such as queso fresco, queso blanco, and panela that do not state they are pasteurized. Hard cheeses such as cheddar and semi-soft cheeses such as mozzarella are safe to consume.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that about one in seven (14%) cases of Listeria infection occurs during pregnancy and can cause fetal loss (miscarriage or stillbirth), preterm labor, and illness or death in newborn infants. […] If you are pregnant, the CDC offers these specific recommendations to reduce your risk of contracting this infection and passing it onto your baby. Do not eat hot dogs, luncheon meats, cold cuts, other deli meats or fermented or dry sausages unless they are heated to an internal temperature of 165F or until steaming hot just before serving. Avoid getting fluid from hot dog and lunch meat packages on other foods, utensils, and food preparation surfaces, and wash hands after handling hot dogs, luncheon meats, and deli meats. Pay attention to labels. Do not eat refrigerated pt or meat spreads from a deli or meat counter or from the refrigerated section of a store. Foods that do not need refrigeration, like canned or shelf-stable pt and meat spreads, are safe to eat. Refrigerate after opening. Do not eat soft cheese such as feta, queso blanco, queso fresco, brie, Camembert, blue-veined, or panela (queso panela) unless it is labeled as made with pasteurized milk. Make sure the label says, MADE WITH PASTEURIZED MILK. Be aware that Mexican-style cheeses made from pasteurized milk, such as queso fresco, likely contaminated during cheese-making, have caused Listeria infections. Do not eat refrigerated smoked seafood, unless it is contained in a cooked dish, such as a casserole, or unless it is a canned or shelf-stable product. (Refrigerated smoked seafood, such as salmon, trout, whitefish, cod, tuna, and mackerel, is most often labeled as nova-style, lox, kippered, smoked, or jerky.) Canned and shelf stable tuna, salmon, and other fish products are safe to eat.

  Listeriosis is a rare infection, but is about 20 times more common in pregnant women than in the general population. Pregnant women may be able to reduce risk of listerial infection by following dietary guidelines recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). National food agencies, such as the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have also lowered risk of listerial infection by monitoring potential sources of contamination. […] Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Recommendations on Listeriosis Prevention: Do not eat hot dogs and luncheon meats unless they are reheated until steaming hot. Avoid cross-contaminating other foods, utensils, and food preparation surfaces with fluid from hot dog packages, and wash hands after handling hot dogs. Do not eat soft cheeses such as feta, brie, and camembert cheeses; blue-veined cheeses; and Mexican-style cheeses such as queso blanco fresco. Cheeses that may be eaten include hard cheeses; semi-soft cheeses such as mozzarella; pasteurized processed cheeses such as slices and spreads; cream cheese; and cottage cheese. Do not eat refrigerated pts or meat spreads. Canned or shelf-stable pts and meat spreads may be eaten. Do not eat refrigerated smoked seafood, unless it is contained in a cooked dish, such as a casserole. Canned or shelf-stable smoked seafood may be eaten. Do not drink raw (unpasteurized) milk or eat foods that contain unpasteurized milk.

This includes practicing safe food handling and following the WHO Five Keys to Safer Food: Keep clean, Separate raw and cooked, Cook thoroughly, Keep food at safe temperatures, Use safe water and raw materials. […] Persons in high risk groups should avoid consuming dairy products made of unpasteurized milk; deli meats and ready-to-eat meat products such as sausages, hams, pats and meat spreads, as well as cold-smoked seafood (such as smoked salmon); […] It is important to respect the shelf-life and storage temperature written on labels of ready-to-eat foods to ensure that bacteria potentially present in these foods does not multiply to dangerously high numbers. Cooking before eating is another very effective way to kill the bacteria. […] Educating consumers, especially those in high risk groups, and training of food handlers in safe food handling are among the most critical means to prevent foodborne illnesses including listeriosis.
