Deli Meat in pregnancy

Hello all. We had our annual Christmas party yesterday and had a tray of meats and cheeses. I grabbed a few slices of roast beef off the tray and one of my coworkers told me I should not eat it if I am pregnant (which I am). I knew you shouldn't eat processed meats like bologna, hot dogs, etc, etc...but plain roast beef? It's too late now, I ate it, but now I'm worried. Has anyone heard of this??
