it would not be likely that this one "unwashed" piece of peeled melon would present any type of risk to you or your baby nor would it be prudent to try and best tested at this point. just let your ob or primary care provider know about this unlikely incident in the event that you develop any symptoms of a food-borne illness.
i am in my first trimester and ate an unwashed piece of cantaloupe. how serious is the risk of listeria from this food? . the cantaloupe was rinsed with water but not properly washed and did have some bruising. i ate it immediately after it was cut. i know that the fruit came from a farm in california (where i have read that food safety for cantaloupes is taken more seriously). can i still get tested for listeria? how accurate would a test be at this stage?
