Boar’s Head listeria outbreak: death toll climbs to 9, CDC says
At least nine people have died after being infected with listeria from Boar’s Head deli meats tied to a massive recall last month, federal health officials said Wednesday.
The recall started on July 25 when liverwurst was recalled due to potential listeria contamination, along with nine other products made on the same line the same day as the liverwurst. When listeria contamination was recalled a few days later, the company recalled all products made at the same facility.
It is the largest listeria outbreak in the U.S. since 2011, and Boar’s Head has recalled more than 7 million pounds of deli products.

The nationwide recall list, which was updated on Sept. 4, includes 850 pages of stores, restaurants, and more.
Michigan stores where the now-recalled products were sold include nearly four dozen Kroger locations, several Family Fare stores, and more. The recall also includes other locations that serve Boar's Head meat, including several breweries and Trinity Health Ann Arbor Hospital in Ypsilanti.
All the recalled deli meats have been removed from stores and are no longer available. Production at the Jarratt, Va. Boar's Head facility has also been paused.
