An expanded recall of Boar’s Head meat has been issued, affecting an additional 7 million pounds of products. The recall was prompted by an outbreak of Listeria monocytogenes illnesses associated with sliced meat from grocery store deli counters.
Last week, Boar’s Head recalled over 200,000 pounds of ready-to-eat liverwurst products and other deli meats. The company received information from the US Department of Agriculture linking its Strassburger brand liverwurst to the outbreak, leading to the decision to recall all items produced at its Jarratt, Virginia facility.
