A deadly listeria outbreak caused the recall of 7 million pounds of Boar's Head deli meats, resulting in 2 deaths and hospitalizations across 13 states.
Listeria, a resilient bacterium, can thrive in deli meat due to contamination during harvesting, processing, or storage, making eradication challenging.
Listeria contamination in deli meats can cause mild to severe symptoms from fever, muscle aches to serious illnesses like headaches, confusion, and convulsions.
Most vulnerable to listeria poisoning are young children, elderly, individuals with weakened immune systems, or pregnant women.
