The Jarratt, Virginia Boar's Head plant linked to
the ongoing multistate listeria outbreak is
closing permanently, the company announced
on Friday.
The deadly outbreak was first reported on July
19 by the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention and was followed by a recall of
207,528 pounds of liverwurst by the company
on July 26. Boar's Head issued an expanded
recall on July 30 to include every product
made at the same Jarratt, Virginia facility
where its liverwurst was produced, equating to
about 7.2 million pounds.
