Federal health officials reported that at least nine people have died from listeria infections linked to Boar's Head deli meats, marking the largest outbreak since 2011.
The outbreak, which started in late May and lasted into August, resulted in 57 reported illnesses and was detected after positive listeria tests on a liverwurst sample.
This strain of listeria is particularly dangerous for vulnerable populations, including the elderly and pregnant women, leading to severe health risks and complications.
Boar's Head has recalled more than 7 million pounds of deli products as part of an extensive response to the listeria outbreak stemming from their products.
