CDC: Tenth death reported in listeria outbreak linked to Boar's Head meats
View Date:2024-12-23 22:53:38
The death toll has risen to 10 in the multistate listeria outbreak linked to a Boar's Head plant in Virginia and the nationwide recall of potentially contaminated deli meats.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported a tenth death Wednesday in the latest update on the listeria outbreak. The death is the second in the state of New York, the CDC said. The agency reported two additional illnesses in the outbreak, bringing the total to 59 cases in 19 states. All of those infected were hospitalized.
When the CDC first reported the deadly outbreak July 19, at the time the agency reported 28 persons infected and two deaths. That led to two waves of recalled products from Boar's Head, eventually amounting to more than 7 million pounds of liverwurst and other meats produced at the Jarratt, Virginia plant where the contaminated liverwurst came from.

Boar's Head plant closed in Virginia
Earlier this month, Boar's Head closed the Jarratt, Virginia plant, putting about 500 people out of work.
This came after reports made by inspectors with the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service were released by the agency recording "noncompliances" at the plant including insects, mold and mildew spotted at the plant. Subsequently, more records were released citing issues at the Boar's Head plant back to January 2022.
In addition to the multi-agency investigation into the outbreak, several lawsuits have been filed and food safety lawyer Bill Marler has called for a congressional investigation.
