Boar’s Head is recalling seven-million more pounds of deli meat following two listeria deaths, one in New Jersey, another in Illinois. 

In addition to those two deaths, the CDC says at least 34 people have gotten sick in 13 states. 

Nearly all have been hospitalized and ranged in age from 32 to 94. 

This latest recall involves liverwurst, ham, bologna and beef salami made at a Boar’s Head plant in Virginia. 

More than 70 products with sell-by dates spanning July 29th to October 17th 2024 are involved.  Listeria infection symptoms include nausea, fever, headache and muscle aches.
