Saved you a click:

So far there's no sign that people are getting sick from prepackaged deli meats. And for at-risk people who already have deli slices in their refrigerator, they can be sanitized by being recooked.

"Refrigeration does not kill Listeria, but reheating before eating will kill any germs that may be on these meats," the CDC says.

Something about recooking deli meat grosses me out a bit.

If you have never pan fried Bologna, you should experience that.

But then I'd have to buy and eat bologna. Think I'll pass.
