"Our investigation has identified the root cause of the contamination as a specific production process that only existed at the Jarratt [Virginia] facility and was used only for liverwurst," the company wrote in a statement. "With this discovery, we have decided to permanently discontinue liverwurst."
"Given the seriousness of the outbreak, and the fact that it originated at Jarratt, we have made the difficult decision to indefinitely close this location, which has not been operational since late July 2024," Boar's Head said. "It pains us to impact the livelihoods of hundreds of hard-working employees. We do not take lightly our responsibility as one of the area's largest employers. But, under these circumstances, we feel that a plant closure is the most prudent course."
