Boar’s Head Lawsuit

Deli Meats Recalled Over Listeria Outbreak

In July 2024, Boar’s Head issued a recall for 71 meat products manufactured at their Virginia facility after a sample collected by the Maryland Department of Health tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture also found mold, insects, and mildew at this facility over the past year, logging 69 instances of noncompliance with federal rules.

Listeria is known to cause a food-borne illness called listeriosis, which can be especially severe in those who are pregnant, elderly, or have a weakened immune system. Infections have been reported across 18 states.

At least 59 hospitalizations and 10 deaths have been linked to the outbreak so far, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

This is the largest listeriosis outbreak in the U.S. since 2011. Symptoms can take weeks to appear, meaning the number of affected individuals may continue to rise.

At Sokolove Law, we have over 45 years of experience holding negligent companies accountable for the harm they’ve caused. Let us fight for you.
