Boar’s Head Reopens Virginia Deli Meat Plant Tied to Deadly Listeria Outbreak
Boar's Head resumed limited operations after a complete overhaul with nearly 12,000 listeria tests but faces ongoing sanitation noncompliance and lawsuits following a deadly 2024 outbreak.
Boar's Head reopened its Virginia deli meat plant nearly 17 months after a listeria outbreak that killed 10 people and sickened dozens.
The company overhauled the facility, replacing equipment and separating production areas for raw and ready-to-eat food.
Despite the reopening, recent inspections at another Boar's Head plant found sanitation issues similar to those linked to the outbreak.
