Boar’s Head expands recall to include 7 million more pounds of deli meats tied to listeria outbreak
SUMMARY: Boar’s Head is recalling an additional 7 million pounds of ready-to-eat deli products from its Virginia plant due to a listeria outbreak that has resulted in two deaths and nearly three dozen illnesses across 13 states. This follows a previous recall of over 200,000 pounds of deli meats. The products, including liverwurst and salami, were made between May 10 and July 29. The issue arose after a liverwurst sample tested positive for listeria, prompting the company to halt production and expand the recall. Consumers are advised to discard the affected items and sanitize their refrigerators.
