Federal inspectors from the USDA discovered alarming conditions at the Boar's Head plant, citing the presence of insects, meat residue, and pervasive black mold, raising serious food safety concerns.
In total, during the inspection period from July 2023 to August, inspectors logged an astonishing 69 'noncompliances,' highlighting severe neglect regarding hygiene and safety protocols within the facility.
The inspectors found 'ample amounts of blood in puddles on the floor' and reported a 'rancid smell in the cooler,' revealing unsanitary conditions that threaten public health.
An inspector's report details that a 'clear liquid' was leaking from the ceiling, while an employee futilely attempted to clean up spills, indicating ongoing maintenance failures that contribute to the factory's hazardous environment.
