Timeline of Boar’s Head Deli Meat Recalls in 2024

On July 30, 2024, Boar’s Head expanded a recall to include another 7 million pounds of deli meat that may be contaminated with Listeria. The expanded recall was announced after a sample of liverwurst collected from a store in Maryland tested positive for the same strain of Listeria that is linked to a deadly outbreak of food poisoning.

On July 26, 2024, Boar’s Head Provisions Co. announced the original recall for all liverwurst products that were currently available in stores because it may be contaminated with Listeria. The original recall involved 207,528 pounds of liverwurst and other deli meat items that were made on the same day.

Liverwurst Recall

Boar’s Head recalled liverwurst products that were produced between June 11, 2024, and July 17, 2024, and have a 44-day shelf life.

The liverwurst items were sold in 3.5-pound loaves in plastic casing, or various weight packages sliced in retail delis, containing “Boar’s Head Strassburger Liverwurst MADE IN VIRGINIA.”

The liverwurst items shipped to retailers have sell-by dates ranging July 25, 2024, to Aug. 30, 2024, printed on the side of the packaging.

The expanded recall also includes 7 million pounds of other Boar’s Head deli products, including pre-packaged deli products, in shelf life from this establishment. Look for “EST. 12612” or “P-12612” inside the USDA mark of inspection on the product labels.

This expansion includes 71 products produced between May 10, 2024, and July 29, 2024, under the Boar’s Head and Old Country brand names.

These items include meat intended for slicing at retail delis as well as some packaged meat and poultry products sold at retail locations. These products have “sell by” dates ranging from 29-JUL-2024 through 17-OCT-24.

These items were distributed to retail delis nationwide.

What Happened?

The Maryland Department of Health collected an unopened sample of liverwurst from a retail store and it tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes, according to the recall.
