Caution! There is a Big Meat Recall Here in Michigan!

If you are a lunch meat fan and you will be either packing lunch for you kids going back to school soon, or even yourself, you had better watch out because there is a big deli meat recall.

Boar's Head, one of the most popular and trusted brands of deli meats, has had to recall several of there products because of a possible listeria contamination.

Boar's Head actually issued the recall in July. The Food Inspection Service of the USDA said:

"Boar's Head is recalling all liverwurst product produced by the establishment that is currently available in commerce because it may be adulterated with Listeria monocytogenes, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today. The company is also recalling additional deli meat products that were produced on the same line and on the same day as the liverwurst and, therefore, may be adulterated with L. monocytogenes. The company is recalling approximately 207,528 pounds of products.

The ready-to-eat liverwurst products were produced between June 11, 2024, and July 17, 2024, and have a 44-day shelf life."

Listeria is nothing to mess around with because the USDA says Listeriosis can cause fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions sometimes preceded by diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms.

That's not exactly  what I call a fun time!
