I think the moral of the thread is eat what you are comfortable eating, on the advice of someone you trust and ignore everyone who says you can't.
(got judged this morning for ordering an espresso. It wasnt for me, was picking it up for a coworker and the rude woman behind the counter asked me four times if i was sure i didnt want decaf.)

I've continued to have coffee during my pregnancy only 1 on a week day, don't need it on the weekend.
I'm most wary of food I haven't prepared myself as there's no guarantees as to what's gone into it or how long food has been sitting around for.
I've never had food poisioning from my own food, however I have from restaurant/cafe/food court prepared food.

I have deli ham in toasted sandwiches, I figure it gets pretty hot in there so is fine?
I've also had KFC, BK & McD's - didn't realise I shouldn't. Pretty much everything is deep fried or processed so surely ok?
I like to refer to it as the histeria about Listeria (although do take it fairly sensibly).

I guess I don't want to be the 1 case that proves that listeria is real same with salmonella. Having read about one case of it in the OB birth stories that was enough to make me cautious about what I've eaten.

Hmmm, I think my ham cheese & tomato toastie I was having for lunch may turn into a cheese & tomato toastie..... I honestly thought if it was piping hot it was ok 
Didn't hear about the raw chicken in Auckland. Eeek, maybe I'll just eat everything at home from now on! I agree caliandjack, I don't want to be the 1 case either.

Clover, food safety wise anything heated to above 75 degrees (85 to be really safe) is fine. But its up to what you feel comfortable with, if you can forgoe the ham and it'll reassure you, go nuts.
Most health guidelines handed out by doctors and midwifes state that deli foods such as salami, ham etc are fine if heated.

I ate the ham 
I'm sure the leaflet my mw gave me said that all items on the "not safe" list were fine if heated to above 75 degrees.
