In late July, Boar’s Head announced a recall on over 200,000 pounds of its ready-to-eat products due to concerns of contamination by Listeria monocytogenes. Just a few days later, the onlinepany expanded the recall to include another 7 million pounds of products over the same concern.

The recall occurred after a sample of liverwurst was found to be contaminated. For precautionary reasons, Boar’s Head has now recalled all the products at the same facility. So far, some 34 people across 13 states have experienced sickness, including 2 deaths and 33 hospitalizations.

If you have recently purchased liverwurst, salami, bologna, ham, beef, or other Boar’s Head products, pay attention to this recall and dispose of any impacted products that may be in your home. It is also reonlinemended that you clean your refrigerator to prevent cross-contamination.

If you have a recalled product in your home, you may bring it to the store of purchase for a refund.
