Boar's Head announced on July 25, 2024, a recall of their Strassburger Brand Liverwurst. The product had the potential to contain Listeria monocytogenes. The affected meat was distributed to stores across the USA, Cayman Islands, Dominican Republic, Mexico, and Panama.

In addition, 9 more Boar's Head products were recalled at their Jarratt, Virginia facility on the same production line and the same day as the liverwurst product.  Over 200,000 pounds of the product was removed from the market.

Boar's Head noted on July 29, 2024, that the liverwurst product has been linked to the national deli meat Listeria monocytogenes outbreak. Because of this new information, the company expanded its recall to include all items produced at the Jarratt facility, and have paused ready-to-eat operations at this facility until further notice.

According to the USDA, The expanded recall includes 71 products produced between May 10th and July 29, 2024, under the Boar’s Head and Old Country brand names. For a list and photo of each affected product, click HERE.

Food products that are contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, which can affect people 65 or older, those with weakened immune systems, and persons who are pregnant, according to the USDA. Persons outside these risk groups can also be affected.

The USDA notes that symptoms of Listeriosis include fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions sometimes preceded by diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms.
