Boar's Head Faces Federal Investigation Over Deadly Listeria Outbreak

The USDA and DOJ are probing the company's role in a listeria outbreak that has killed 10 people and hospitalized 59 across 19 states.

The listeria outbreak has been linked to Boar's Head liverwurst, prompting a recall of over 7 million pounds of deli meat.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal and Rep. Rosa DeLauro are pushing for criminal charges against Boar's Head for repeated safety violations.
Inspection reports revealed unsanitary conditions at the Jarratt, Virginia plant, including mold, insects, and dripping water.
The USDA has withheld documents related to the investigation, citing potential interference with law enforcement efforts.
Boar's Head has permanently closed the Virginia plant and discontinued its liverwurst product amid ongoing legal and regulatory scrutiny.
