Nine people have died, and dozens have been hospitalized, as a result of a listeria outbreak in the Boar’s Head facility in Jarratt, Virginia, resulting in more than 7.2 million pounds of liverwurst and other deli meat being recalled in late July.

Federal food safety assessments in September and October 2022 revealed live beetles in the bathroom hallway of the facility, patches of green mold on the walls, trash on the floor, rust on the walls, leaking pipes, and water-damaged ceilings. “Our investigation has identified the root cause of the contamination as a specific production process that only existed at the Jarratt facility and was used only for liverwurst. With this discovery, we have decided to permanently discontinue liverwurst,” the company’s press release read.

“Given the seriousness of the outbreak, and the fact that it originated at Jarratt, we have made the difficult decision to indefinitely close this location, which has not been operational since late July 2024,” the company’s press release noted.
