Yes. Although are you sure it’s on the product list? If you bought it Friday, most of those on the product list are past the sell-by date.

@ctujackbauer I’m glad what I bought wasn’t on the list.

So the recalls are mostly useless. By the time they do the recall you’ve either already eaten some of the product or the stores have thrown it out.

Pretty awful, seems to be the liverwurst that killed them. what a mess, Boar’s Head will have a hard time recovering from this debacle. Read some big delis in my area had no choice but to switch to other suppliers since they couldn’t remain open selling sandwiches, cold cuts, etc with no meats to sell. No telling when Boars will be full back up to speed.

A Boar’s Head deli meat plant in Virginia tied to a deadly food poisoning outbreak repeatedly violated federal regulations, including instances of mold, insects, liquid dripping from ceilings, and meat and fat residue on walls, floors and equipment, newly released records show.
Government inspectors logged 69 instances of “noncompliance” with federal rules in the past year, including several in recent weeks, according to documents released through federal Freedom of Information Act requests.
Between Aug. 1, 2023, and Aug. 2, 2024, inspectors found “heavy discolored meat buildup” and “meat overspray on walls and large pieces of meat on the floor.” They also documented flies “going in and out” of pickle vats and “black patches of mold” on a ceiling. One inspector detailed blood puddled on the floor and “a rancid smell in the cooler.” Plant staff were repeatedly notified that they had failed to meet requirements, the documents showed.
