Boar’s Head Closes Virginia Plant Linked to Deadly Listeria Outbreak
Boar's Head has made the crucial decision to permanently close its Virginia plant, a site linked to a deadly listeria outbreak that has affected numerous consumers. The closure is a part of a series of changes following what the company describes as a 'dark moment' in its history. Reports revealed serious health violations, including insects, mold, and other unsanitary conditions. In light of this, the company will be discontinuing the sales of liverwurst and implementing new food safety measures.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has confirmed that at least 57 individuals across 18 states have been hospitalized, with nine fatalities linked to the outbreak, which is the largest reported since 2011. As the public health crisis continues, the CDC advises all consumers to check for recalled products, clearly marked with 'EST. 12612' or 'P-12612.'
