Boar's Head deli meat plant will reopen after being shut down due to sanitation issues linked to a listeria outbreak that resulted in 10 deaths. Inspections found numerous violations, including meat residue, mold, and insects. USDA officials confirmed the facility is now compliant with safety regulations. However, other Boar's Head plants in Virginia, Arkansas, and Indiana exhibited similar sanitation violations, including improper hygiene practices and blocked drains, indicating persistent issues across the company's operations.
Recent inspections at Boar's Head plants revealed sanitation issues similar to those linked to the 2022 listeria outbreak that caused 10 deaths and numerous illnesses.
The Jarratt, Virginia plant was shut down for failing to maintain sanitary conditions, which led to a major recall of over 7 million pounds of deli products.
Despite the recent reopening of the Boar's Head facility, reports indicate ongoing sanitation violations at various plants, including blocked drains and insufficient hygiene practices.
USDA officials noted that the Jarratt facility is now in compliance with safety guidelines, yet similar sanitation issues persist at other locations.
