A Boar’s Head deli meat plant in Virginia tied to a deadly food poisoning outbreak (https://apnews.com/article/listeria-boars-head-recall-d57985525441b6c5dffd310769b0e6c5) repeatedly violated federal regulations, including instances of mold, insects, liquid dripping from ceilings, and meat and fat residue on walls, floors and equipment, newly released records show.
The plant has been linked to the deaths of at least nine people (https://www.cdc.gov/listeria/outbreaks/delimeats-7-24.html) and hospitalizations of about 50 others in 18 states. All were sickened with listeria after eating Boar's Head Provisions Co. Inc. deli meats. The company recalled more than 7 million pounds (https://apnews.com/article/boars-head-listeria-deli-meat-ebff78f4d6e5dad8483a6063623cd9a1) of products last month after tests confirmed that listeria bacteria in Boar's Head products were making people sick.
Between Aug. 1, 2023, and Aug. 2, 2024, inspectors found “heavy discolored meat buildup" and “meat overspray on walls and large pieces of meat on the floor.” They also documented flies “going in and out” of pickle vats and “black patches of mold” on a ceiling. One inspector detailed blood puddled on the floor and “a rancid smell in the cooler.” Plant staff were repeatedly notified that they had failed to meet requirements, the documents showed.
