U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) inspectors have found a handful of health violations at a Boar's Head plant in Jarratt, Virginia, linked to a nationwide listeria outbreak concerning sliced deli meats.
New records released by the department reveal that inspectors faulted Boar's Head several times for mold or mildew building up throughout the site of the plant. CBS News reported that last month, inspectors found what appeared to be mold and mildew around the hand-washing sinks used by workers preparing ready-to-eat meats. Mold build-up was also found outside of steel vats used by the plant and inside holding coolers between the site's smokehouses.
