Boar’s Head is recalling over 200,000 pounds of deli meat due to concerns of listeria contamination.

“Boar’s Head Provisions Co., Inc., a Jarratt, Va., establishment, is recalling all liverwurst product produced by the establishment that is currently available in commerce because it may be adulterated with Listeria monocytogenes,” the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced Friday.

“The company is also recalling additional deli meat products that were produced on the same line and on the same day as the liverwurst and, therefore, may be adulterated with L. monocytogenes. The company is recalling approximately 207,528 pounds of products,” it added.

WATCH:

“The ready-to-eat liverwurst products were produced between June 11, 2024, and July 17, 2024, and have a 44-day shelf life,” FSIS stated.

Per FSIS:

The following liverwurst products are subject to recall:

  • 3.5-lb. loaves in plastic casing, or various weight packages sliced in retail delis, containing “Boar’s Head Strassburger Brand Liverwurst MADE IN VIRGINIA.” The products shipped to retailers bear sell by dates ranging July 25, 2024, to Aug. 30, 2024, printed on the side of the packaging.

    • The products subject to recall were distributed to retail deli locations nationwide. The products shipped to deli retailers bear establishment number “EST. 12612” inside the USDA mark of inspection on the product labels.

    “The problem was discovered when FSIS was notified that a sample collected by the Maryland Department of Health tested positive for L. monocytogenes. The Maryland Department of Health, in collaboration with the Baltimore City Health Department, collected an unopened liverwurst product from a retail store for testing as part of an outbreak investigation of L. monocytogenes infections,” FSIS wrote.

    “Further testing is ongoing to determine if the product sample is related to the outbreak. Anyone concerned about illness should contact a healthcare provider,” it added.

    Fox Business reports:

    The following Boar’s Head products are affected by the recall: Boar’s Head Strassburger Brand Liverwurst MADE IN VIRGINIA, Boar’s Head Virginia Ham Old-Fashioned Ham, Boar’s Head Italian Cappy Style Ham, Boar’s Head Extra Hot Italian Cappy Style Ham, Boar’s Head Bologna, Boar’s Head Beef Salami, Boar’s Head Steakhouse Roasted Bacon Heat & Eat, Boar’s Head Garlic Bologna and Boar’s Head Beef Bologna.

    Recalled products were shipped to delis across the country and display establishment number “EST. 12612” inside the USDA inspection mark on their packaging.

    Ingesting food contaminated with listeria monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, an infection with symptoms including fever, convulsions, diarrhea, muscle aches, and more.

    Listeriosis primarily affects pregnant women, people over 65 years old, and individuals with weakened immune systems.

    The recall follows reports of a multi-state listeria outbreak killing two individuals and hospitalizing approximately 30 others.
