This is getting to be a habit with Boar's Head. I remember a few months ago they had a recall on their liverwurst.

My nephew is a Boers Head distributer..the company went way overboard with the last “recall” and it did not affect the company....probably the same with th8s one.

[Bob434]

And before that with ohter meats too.

I remember that. We don’t buy their stuff because it’s so expensive.

[End Times Sentinel]

FWIW - That has always been a revolting name.

[Red Badger]

I think it’s a play on words..........

[Apparatchik]

Terrible brand - low quality, expensive, and they market to squeeze out competitors in my local grocery stores. In many cases, it’s the only brand in the deli section.

[ArcadeQuarters]

Again? They have some dedicated customers but even they have limits.

“We don’t buy their stuff because it’s so expensive.“

Hence their radio commercial which states “economize elsewhere “!

After the previous recall, the only local store around me stopped selling the brand and switched to a different one. Hopefully the new brand makes their employees wash their hands and use the indoor plumbing.

At least Boar's Head doesn't sell bat soup. As far as I know.

I never consider buying anything from the Boar’s Head brand because the name makes me think of a smelly severed pig head lying on the ground with flies buzzing around. Terrible imagery.

[VTenigma]

I agree, I was never impressed no matter how much they pushed “quality”.

[Mermaid Girl]

Hilarious and disgusting... worked at a Florida grocery store for a few months, Publix, and they pride themselves on their Boars Head line of ground up lips and buttholes.

Listeria in the cold cuts. Not surprised.

Mediocre garbage, in my opinion.

[ridesthemiles]

ARE THEY USING ILLEGAL WORKERS???

Listeria is very hard to get rid of. You almost need a new building.
