Inspectors found meat and fat residue on walls, floors and equipment. They also found mold, insects and liquid dripping from ceilings.
ABC's Jaclyn Lee joins Extra Time with more on the listeria outbreak linked to Boar's Head deli meats.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.
"I think it is disgusting and shameful," said Garshon Morgenstein, whose 88-year-old father, Gunter, died July 18 from a listeria infection traced to Boar's Head liverwurst. "I'm just even more in shock that this was allowed to happen." Barbara Kowalcyk, director of the Institute for Food Safety and Nutrition Security at George Washington University, said the records raise a lot of red flags.
"The fact that they are having the same problems over and over again weeks apart is an indication that they really struggling to keep up with sanitation," Schaffner said.
