Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Boar's Head Provisions Co. is recalling approximately 207,528 pounds of ready-to-eat liverwurst and various other deli meats due to potential Listeria monocytogenes contamination. The recall includes all liverwurst currently on the market and several other deli meat products produced on the same line. This action follows a multistate outbreak investigation where a liverwurst sample tested positive for the outbreak strain. There have been 34 reported illnesses, 33 hospitalizations, and two deaths linked to this outbreak.

Risk

Eating food contaminated with Listeria can cause listeriosis, a serious infection that can lead to fever, muscle aches, and severe complications. It is especially dangerous for pregnant individuals, seniors aged 65 or older, and those with weakened immune systems, potentially causing miscarriages or life-threatening infections.
