At least nine people have died from listeria linked to Boar's Head deli meats, prompting a massive recall of over 7 million pounds of products.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported the outbreak has sickened at least 57, making it the largest listeria outbreak in the U.S. since 2011.
Listeria infections are particularly dangerous for vulnerable populations like the elderly and pregnant women, as symptoms can appear up to 10 weeks post-exposure.
The problem was traced back to a Boar's Head liverwurst sample in Maryland, which tested positive for listeria, leading to widespread product recalls.
