Is it safe to eat pepperoni while pregnant?

Answer 1

I hope so, as I've eaten it all the way through! Cooked meats are fine, as long as they are cooked all the way through. Just stay off the rare steaks.

Pepperoni and salami are considered safe during pregnancy. While often being served at the deli with other deli meats which are not safe, these are dried and salted so listeria cannot live on them. If you are eating it on Pizza you are extra safe since heating the meats until steaming kill listeria (the bacteria found in deli meats that causes miscarriages).
