Heat it up for 30 seconds before you eat it. Even the packaged stuff has a slight risk of listeria, and its a better-safe-than-sorry kind of thing.

I still pop mine into the microwave for 10 second or so. Just to be safe.

All deli meat is fully cooked.  I've heard it should be heated to steaming before eating it just in case the lysteria bacteria is on it.  My dr told me that packaged meat is safe. The one to watch out for is the one cut by the deli department.
