Reading the CDC link;

Microwave or cook your deli meats before eating them (says to cook them to 165), Listeria can live in fridges

Mostly harmful to elderly, pregnant or immunodeficient, you should be fine if you don't fall under those categories

Do NOT get the juice of the meat on anything and wash the meat if you don't plan on heating it.

Wash your hands after touching it

It's mostly Italian based meats, if you ordered them cooked, they'll be fine. If not, then if you are not immunodeficient, 65 or older or pregnant, you should be fine.
