10th Death Reported in Boar’s Head Listeria Outbreak

Lawmakers demand accountability as CDC warns of ongoing risks from contaminated deli meats.

The CDC has confirmed 59 cases of Listeria infections across 19 states, with 10 fatalities.
The outbreak, traced to Boar’s Head liverwurst, has led to a nationwide recall and the indefinite closure of the Jarratt, Virginia plant.
Federal inspectors found severe sanitation violations at the Jarratt facility, including mold, insects, and pooling blood.
Lawmakers are urging the USDA and DOJ to investigate Boar’s Head for potential criminal charges due to repeated safety violations.
Consumers are advised to discard any recalled products and sanitize surfaces to prevent further infections.
