Hi, Is it ok to give a 2 and a half year old smoked chicken/chicken roll slices? You know the ones from the coles/woolies deli section? My Mum assures me "You ate them all the time and you turned out fine" but some friends have suggested they may have bacteria or something in them. I thought these things were cooked, and salami and stuff would be worse for Kids but Im not clear on the manufacturing details. lol. Smoked chicken slices would just be easier for sandwiches now and again in place of chopped roast chicken/Tuna etc. Carin & Baby Sahara Anyone know?
