The usual recommendations I've seen are no raw meat or fish, no cheese
made from unpasteurised milk (but those aren't common in the US anyway),
no unpasteurised milk unless certified, no hot dogs that haven't been
cooked before eating, no fish that may have a high mercury content etc.

(I tried to access the CDC website to find out more, but server didn't
respond this afternoon.)
