They say to avoid this stuff because of risk of listeria. Now here is some statistical evidence that the chances are very slim. There are about 2500 Listeria Cases in the US per year. Of the 2500, 1/3 of them are pregnant women, which is about 835. The US population is 307006550. So 835/307006550 is only about .00027% chance of becoming infected with Listeria. So technically there is a chance, but an extremely small one. You should be fine.
