Smoked salmon, aka my Philadelphia Roll is a no-go :(

I posted a few days ago about how badly i wanted a philly roll but wasn't sure if the smoked salmon was okay.  Went to the OB yesterday and it is NOT okay according to him and the brochure he sent me home with.  Here's what the handout says:

Do not eat refrigerated smoked seafood- unless it's in a cooked dish, such as a casserole. (Refrigerated smoked seafod such as salmon, trout, whitefish, cod, etc). These types of fish are found in the refrigerator section or sold at deli counters of grocery stores and delicatessens.

The threat is from Listeria. My OB said if I heated up my sushi in the microwave to the point where the salmon is steaming then I could eat it.....  (only semi tempting).  But we all know that would melt the cream cheese :)

 

Oh well!!!!  Sorry to share the bad news but I know some of you wanted to know what I found out!!!

    Listeria only affects around 2500 people per year.  It is highly unlikely you will be affected.  Eat the sushi.  Especially if it's from a reputable place.  Everything in moderation.

    haha with my luck i'd be that 1/2500!  But in times of severe craving desperation I may go ahead and eat it anyways :)  I DID have a moment of weakness in my pregnancy with DD where I went out and got some take home sushi and ate a couple pieces but then felt really guilty and threw the rest away.. LOL.

    Philly rolls are my absolute favorite! Out of an abundance of caution, I've given them up. I have found that some places have a "deluxe" California roll that has cream cheese in it. Not exactly the same, I know, but it'll have to do for now.

    Amen!  You are at much greater risk of e.coli or salmonella than listeria. (I have stopped eating sprouts not because they are a listeria risk- which they are- but we had a severe e.coli outbreak here from sprouts.)  You are also at greater risk of getting in a car accident or falling down a flight of stairs and causing harm to your babe.  While I dont think its a great idea to have a cold cut sandwich every day I dont think indulging once is going to do any harm.

    This.  And this.  I love the logical ladies.  Here's to letting experience, rational analysis and common sense being your guide rather than blindly following suggestions and "rules."

    Whoops a daisy! lol I had Philly Rolls at 6 weeks pregnant. Granted I only had 2 cause I was sharing with DH, but I also had sprouts last week! on a cold cut sandwich at Jimmy Johns :P it was delicious. Not that I'm recommending anyone should go against what's been recommended and I definitely didnt mean to (with the philly rolls or sprouts that is, the cold cuts I weighed my options of telling the people I took there that I couldn't eat there because I was pregnant and they said they wouldnt toast my sandwich or taking the tiny chance and keeping my secret a little longer) But I saw my baby Monday and everything is A-OK.
