The Boar's Head meat recall results in the closure of the plant

In August, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Safety Inspection Service confirmed that dozens of wild boar head meat had been placed on the recall list.

Boar's Head Provisions Co., Inc. expanded its recall of deli meats due to possible Listeria bacteria contamination.

The company recalled approximately 7 million additional pounds of ready-to-eat meat and poultry products, including 71 products manufactured between May 10 and July 29, 2024, under the Boar's Head and Old Country brands.

These items include meat intended for slicing in delis and some packaged meat and poultry products sold at retail outlets.”

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has published a table listing the additional types of meat being recalled and also has an alert with the labels of the recalled meats.

The recall includes popular Boar's Head delicacies such as beef salami; Bologna; Italian Cappy Ham; steakhouse-roasted bacon; sweet, sliced raw ham; tavern ham; and Virginia ham.

Listeria contamination is believed to have been responsible for at least two deaths, the permanent closure of a plant and at least one lawsuit.
