As the tally of those stricken in a nationwide listeria outbreak tied to recalled Boar's Head deli meat rises, federal health officials are urging Americans to check their refrigerators for the products, some with sell-by dates into October.

The largest such outbreak since one linked to cantaloupes more than a decade ago has killed at least nine people and hospitalized 57 in 18 states, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in an update on Wednesday.

The Sarasota, Florida-based deli meat and cheese company last month expanded its recall to include more than 3,600 tons of ready-to-eat meat and poultry products sold under the Boar's Head and Old Country brands.

Records released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture disclosed unappetizing conditions at the Boar's Head plant in Jarratt, Virginia, where the implicated products were produced. USDA inspectors found mold, mildew and insects throughout the facility, which has suspended operations for now. Links.

There is more they are not telling, It would make Kamala look bad.

I was about to eat some Salami in my fridge, then realized it was Boar’s head, so now it’s thrown out.

Here’s a better idea... Check your fridge... If you have anything labeled as Boar’s Head... Just to be safe... Throw it out.

Boar’s Head is usually good. Not much in the way of additives and fillers. I will be taking a month off from eating their stuff, however. Why pay top dollar to risk going six underground?

“Boar’s Head is part of the Tent Coalition for Refugees in the U.S., exploring hiring, training, and mentoring opportunities for refugees”

Oh, dear Lord. Hire some Americans, already!

How did these conditions get by USDA inspectors?

Institutional capture? Maybe BH has good lobbyists.

The inspectors were probably working from home due to COVID.

What was the percentage of refugees working at the Virginia Plant as opposed to their other plants? Were the supervisors refugees as well? The Plant QC all refugees?

How Canada convinced the world to eat engine lubricant. Canola is one of the world’s most popular edible oils,


No, Canada’s clever bit was to rename rape-seed oil to ‘Canola oil’.

Boar’s Head, by implementing their illegal alien work program, became an extension of the U.S. government and aided and abetted manslaughter at a minimum.

Bacon grease too. I use it on burgers. Adds taste. And my arteries are clear at 76.
