A recent outbreak of listeria linked to deli meats has led to a recall of Boar’s Head products, affecting millions of pounds of meat. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued warnings to consumers who may have purchased these products, urging them to clean their refrigerators to prevent the spread of the potentially harmful bacteria.
Boar’s Head has expanded their recall to include an additional 7 million pounds of deli meats, in an effort to contain the listeria outbreak. The company is taking proactive measures to ensure the safety of consumers, as listeria can cause serious illness, especially in vulnerable populations such as pregnant women, older adults, and individuals with weakened immune systems.
Consumers who have purchased Boar’s Head deli meats are advised to check the recall list and dispose of any affected products. Cleaning and sanitizing refrigerators where the products were stored is also recommended to prevent cross-contamination. It is important for individuals to stay informed about food recalls and take necessary precautions to protect their health and wellbeing.
