Here’s some insider-info I learned the hard way: sliced meat is inherently hazardous. It’s not the meat that’s necessarily dangerous. It’s the SLICER. Slicers cannot be sanitized without extreme efforts which must be rigorously & routinely undertaken because the slicers have tiny nooks & crannies where pathogens can grow if they are not killed by cleaning. Sliced cheeses may also be problematic but not as often as ALL sliced meats are. After I was told this, I’ve never again bought sliced deli meat nor any sliced meat sandwiches. It’s just not worth the risk IMO.
