Boar’s Head Provisions Co. expands its recall for RTE meat and poultry products due to Listeria monocytogenes

The USDA/ FSIS announced that Boar's Head Provisions Co., Inc. (Jarratt, VA) expended its recall due to Listeria monocytogenes. Boar's Head recalls approximately 7 million additional pounds of ready-to-eat meat and poultry products. Whole genome sequencing results show that a liverwurst sample collected by the Maryland Department of Health tested positive for the outbreak strain of Listeria monocytogenes. This expansion includes 71 products produced between May 10, 2024, and July 29, 2024, under the Boar's Head and Old Country brand names. These items include meat intended for slicing at retail delis and some packaged meat and poultry products sold at retail locations. These products have "sell by" dates ranging from July 29, 2024, to 17-OCT-24. The products subject to recall were distributed to retail locations nationwide, and some were exported to the Cayman Islands, Dominican Republic, Mexico, and Panama. FSIS is working with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and state public health partners to investigate the multistate outbreak of L. monocytogenes infections linked to meats sliced at delis. As of July 30, 2024, 34 sick people have been identified in 13 states, including 33 hospitalizations and two deaths. @ https://www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls-alerts/boars-head-provisions-co--expands-recall-ready-eat-meat-and-poultry-products-due
