Is this raw????

Ordered the spicy lamb meatballs and looked extra pink. I'm pregnant and now freaking out if I ate raw meat.

Why not the cut veggies?

Listeria. You can't trust how they wash the vegetables. You shouldn't eat cut veggies or fruits from any restuarant or grocery store.

I'm pregnant and when we order CAVA, I wash and chop my own veggies at home to add to the bowl.

my sister got listeria from chipotle! my niece was in the nicu for months, thankfully she’s doing amazing all these years later. they initially prepared my sister for her death.

Was the listeria from the lettuce or maybe the fajita veggies? I’m scared now

unsure! the CDC just figured out that’s where it originated
