CDC Issues Warning for Recalled Boar’s Head Products as Listeria Outbreak Grows

The CDC has issued a new warning for the public to avoid eating recalled deli meats amid a growing number of listeria infections and deaths.

As of August 27, the CDC has tracked a total of 57 infections and nine deaths since Boar’s Head Provisions Co.’s July 26 recall.  That’s 14 more illnesses and six more deaths reported since the CDC’s previous update on August 8.

Illnesses have been reported across 18 states, and all 57 have been hospitalized.

The true number of sick people in this outbreak is likely higher than the number reported, and the outbreak may not be limited to the states with currently reported illnesses, the CDC says. Some people can recover without needing medical care and without being tested for listeria. It also tends to take three to four weeks to determine if a sick person is part of an outbreak, so recent illnesses may not yet be reported.
