Given the state of the economy, the housing market, unemployment rates, why wouldn't our food safety be at stake too? Just one more thing to worry about.

Just days after multiple retailers announced a massive recall due to receiving contaminated vegetables from the same supplier, 7 million pounds of deli meat have been recalled nationwide and the culprit is the same:

Listeria

A nationwide listeria outbreak has been threatening consumers for months, but now the Boar's Head company is expanding that recall. According to the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS),

the recall expansion includes 71 food items produced between May 10, 2024, and July 29, 2024, by both Boar's Head and Old Country brands

Boar's Head is ensuring the public they are taking every step possible to protect public health and will issue a full refund to affected customers.

In addition the FSIS is advising all retail delis to clean and sanitize all food and non-food related work spaces and discard all products currently opened for purchase including non-meat items like cheese.

According to the U.S. FDA, Listeria can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems. Symptoms of listeria infection include high fever, severe headache, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.

A complete list of affected products can be found here on the USDA website but items include:

• Virginia Ham Old Fashiond Ham
