Boar's Head deli meats recalled after Listeria contamination

Virginia-based Boar's Head Provisions Co., Inc. has recalled 7 million pounds of deli meat and poultry products sold at stores nationwide, due to fears of Listeria contamination. The recall comes after 34 people in 13 states became sick from the bacteria and two died. Listeriosis primarily affects pregnant women, people 65 and older and those with weakened immune systems. Symptoms include fever, muscle aches, headache, and confusion, sometimes preceded by diarrhea. The products in question were produced between May 10 and July 29 and were sold under the Boar's Head and Old Country brand names. View a full product list...
