A recent outbreak of listeria food poisoning, which has been linked to a significant recall of popular deli meats from Boar’s Head, has officially ended, as confirmed by federal health officials on Thursday.

The outbreak led to ten fatalities and affected 61 individuals across 19 states after consumption of Boar’s Head products, particularly liverwurst. Reports of illness emerged between late May and mid-September, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The CDC states that listeria outbreaks are declared over 60 days after the last reported case of illness. Furthermore, the deli items associated with this outbreak are now past their expiration dates.

In response to the situation, Boar’s Head recalled over 7 million pounds of deli meats that were distributed nationwide. Following this, the company closed down its production facility in Jarratt, Virginia, and has ceased the production of liverwurst permanently.

The company is under ongoing scrutiny due to multiple reports detailing issues at the facility, including the presence of mold, insects, leaks, and contamination of walls, floors, and equipment.

An internal investigation by the U.S. Department of Agriculture is underway to assess whether federal and Virginia state inspectors acted appropriately in response to the serious concerns raised. U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal, who initiated the investigation, has not received any updates on findings, according to his staff.

Boar’s Head is also confronting numerous lawsuits brought forth by individuals who were affected by the outbreak or by their families.

Officials from the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service have declined requests to release documents regarding inspections and enforcement actions at the affected plant, as well as inspection reports from eight other facilities operated by the company throughout the United States. An appeal is currently underway regarding the denial of these public records requests.
