I think it's safe to eat as long as it's been cooked. I was also told I could eat deli meat if it's been nuked in the microwave or put on the skillet til hot.

Uh-oh, I didn't realize one can't eat pepperoni. I thought luncheon meats were out but that pepperoni is on the "ok" list. If not, I've ingested LOTS of pizza with pepperoni (average 1-2 times a week) in the past 2 months....

Yes, cooked is fine. I love it, too, but it gives me the worst heartburn!

I had pepperoni pizza for tea last night, I hadn't realised that it was on the list of things not to eat. But as its cooked on a pizza, it should be fine, because the risk is of listeria or something and the cooking would see that off anyway

Pepperoni has nitrates in it, I think that's why they tell you to take it easy.

I made a pepperoni pizza last night and used the Hormel natural kind, no nitrates. YUMMY!

It's fine as long as its cooked! ....which is awful for me b/c the best thing about making pizza was dipping the cold pepperoni's in the cold sauce....

My tummy's growling now....

I didn't know pepperoni was on the forbidden list either! It hasn't done me any harm so far

OMG i been cravin pepperoni sticks in the green rappers are these not okay too eat? x

Ouverture- thats the reason I have cut down on pepperoni, the nitrates. I had no idea there was pepperoni without nitrates! I am going to see if I can find it!

Btw any meat needs to be cooked thoroughly before eating. Even is it has been precooked it needs to be reheated to steaming before you eat it. That includes pepperoni, chicken, lunchmeats, hot dogs etc. One its been in the fridge it can get bacteria, so reheating kills the bacteria. Now with pepperoni and hot dogs they also have nitrates in them, which you can eat, but in moderation. For some reason being pregnant makes me crave hot dogs which I cant stand normally, so I allow myself one every once in a while.On the other hand my sister is pregnant and says she eats them alot! really I doubt its harmful for the baby unless you ingest massive amounts. Pepperoni's are small so Im sure even eating several slices of pizza you wont get much nitrates/nitrites out of them.

Ashley yes! I found it yesterday - it's with the regular pepperoni in a redish brown cardboard called 'Hormel Naturals'. No nitrates or anything, and they are yummy!

Yay, thats exciting! I'm hating cooking right now, but how easy will it be to buy a a frozen cheese pizza and then add those pepperoni's to it!! Pepperoni pizza sounds better than plain cheese!
