Boar’s Head has recalled more than 207,000 pounds of deli meat, including liverwurst and ham products sold nationwide, because they may contain the bacteria Listeria monocytogenes. The company initiated the recall after liverwurst at a store in Maryland tested positive for listeria. The sample was collected as part of an investigation into a multistate listeria outbreak that had sickened 34 people across 13 states as of Thursday.
Symptoms usually appear within two weeks of eating contaminated food, but they can sometimes develop right away or up to 10 weeks later. The initial signs include fever, muscle aches, tiredness, headache, stiff neck and confusion. In severe cases, the bacteria may cause a blood infection or meningitis. The infection is most dangerous for people who are older or have weakened immune systems.
