Hi all,
I am getting ready for Christmas and we always have Honey Baked Ham. What do you think about the Listeriosis risk? I know I'm supposed to avoid deli meat unless it's "heated to steaming", but would Honey Baked Ham fall under that category? It's not really deli meat, it's a whole ham that they slice for you. I've tried calling the FDA number on the Listeriosis information sheet my Dr. gave me, but they were absolutely no help this time.
Any thoughts?
Re: Is Honey Baked Ham safe?
I'm thinking if the FDA can't help you, none of us can.?
No, we usually eat it cold - my favorite is straight from the refrigerator.
Would it work to heat a few slices and then refrigerate them, in order to have them cold? I'm not sure I'd like it all that much hot.
I'm just wondering if I should even spend the money to buy it if I'm not going to be able to eat it, you know?
haha I hope its okay, I ate tons of it at Thanksgiving and since...
confession... I've been eating it cold.
baby's gonna grow extra arms...
This! Holy doodle! Eat the ham!
Seriously! I agree, just eat the ham!

I was just heating it up in the microwave and making little sandwiches.
Enjoy your ham.
And thank you for reminding me to get my butt over to 3rd Tri.
This...I had to make sure I was on the right board for a second...lol.

It does NOT take long to get deli meat to steam, trust me.
Can I just take a second to talk about the divine bagel sandwich I made mysefl for dinner the other day? Delicious smoked turkey, low fat laughing cow cheese spread, cucumbers, red onion, tomato and lettuce on a lightly toasted everything bagel.
I mean... I think I could have moved mountains for that sandwich, it just hit the spot so perfectly. Mmmmmmm. MMMMMMMMMMM....
this is not true listeria comes from the meat itself not the slicer. I would eat the ham
This.
Seriously.
