Recall of Boars Head deli meats announced during investigation of listeria outbreak

NEW YORK (AP) U.S. health officials Friday announced a recall of some Boars Head liverwurst and other deli meats as they investigate a listeria outbreak that has sickened nearly three dozen people and caused two deaths.
Boars Head Provisions Co. recalled its liverwurst because it may be tainted with the listeria bacteria, the U.S. Agriculture Department said. (1) The company is also recalling additional deli meats that were produced on the same line and on the same day as the liverwurst.
The USDA said a sample of Boars Head liverwurst from a Maryland store tested positive for listeria. The sample was from an unopened package, collected by the Maryland Department of Health as part of an investigation into the listeria outbreak.
Testing is underway to determine if the liverwurst sample is connected to the outbreak, health officials said.

(816 posts)its authors got rid of all those "deep state" health inspectors and the drain that USDA represents on potential profits?

(722 posts)no other choice other than store brand. it seems there is a recall every day for something. I got a notice from Kroger once about recall bagged salads mix. we had already eaten the salad by the time I got the call. weever ok.. It certainly makes me more appreciative of our local farmer' market.
