Boar's Head Ready-To-Eat Meats Recalled for Listeria Contamination

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Boar's Head Provisions Co. is recalling approximately 7 million additional pounds of ready-to-eat meat and poultry products, including liverwurst, ham, bologna, and frankfurters, due to potential Listeria monocytogenes contamination. This expansion follows an investigation where a liverwurst sample tested positive for the outbreak strain linked to 34 illnesses, 33 hospitalizations, and two deaths across 13 states. The recalled products were produced between May 10, 2024, and July 29, 2024, and sold nationwide at retail delis and in packages. Consumers should return these products to the place of purchase for a refund or dispose of them immediately.

Risk

The products may be contaminated with Listeria, which can cause listeriosis, a serious and sometimes fatal infection. This is particularly dangerous for pregnant individuals, seniors aged 65 or older, and people with weakened immune systems, potentially causing miscarriages, stillbirths, or life-threatening infections in newborns.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your refrigerator for Boar's Head or Old Country brand products, including liverwurst, ham, bologna, salami, and frankfurters, with 'sell by' dates ranging from 29-JUL-2024 through 17-OCT-24.
  2. Look for establishment numbers 'EST. 12612' or 'P-12612' inside the USDA mark of inspection on the product labels to identify affected items.
  3. See the Affected Products section below for the full list of affected codes.
  4. Return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund, throw it away, or contact Boar’s Head Provisions Co., Inc. Customer Service at 1-800-352-6277 for further instructions.
  5. Clean and sanitize your refrigerator thoroughly to prevent cross-contamination to other foods.
  6. If you have consumed these products and experience flu-like symptoms, fever, or muscle aches, contact a healthcare provider immediately.
  7. Call the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-674-6854 if you have additional food safety questions.
