The CDC has declared an outbreak of Listeria infections traced to Boar’s Head deli meats to be over.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention began investigating the outbreak on July 19. Ultimately the outbreak sickened 59 people across 19 states, killing 10. The company closed its production plant in Jarratt, VA, and permanently stopped liverwurst production nationwide. Boar’s Head recalled more than 7 million pounds of deli meats because of the outbreak.
Even though the outbreak has been declared over, the CDC is continuing to warn against the consumption of deli meats for certain groups of people.
