Pregnant people are about 10 times more likely to become sick from listeria, and the illness can be fatal to the fetus.
Foods made with raw milk are 50 to 160 times more likely to contain listeria, the agency said.
Always carefully wash your hands after touching any type of hot dog, lunch or deli meat, the agency said.
Toss opened packages of deli meats or any sliced by a deli after three to five days, and hot dogs after one week.
Shelf-stable foods, such as canned tuna, sardines and salmon, will not increase the risk of listeria.
