Baltimore, MD — The Maryland Department of Health is advising consumers not to eat certain deli meats produced by Boar’s Head because of potential contamination with Listeria bacteria.
A sample collected by the Department tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes. In collaboration with the Baltimore City Health Department, the Department collected an unopened liverwurst product from a retail store for testing as part of an outbreak investigation of Listeria monocytogenes infections. Further testing is ongoing to determine if the product sample is related to the outbreak. Anyone concerned about an illness should contact a health care provider.
Marylanders should avoid Boar’s Head ready-to-eat liverwurst products produced between June 11 and July 17, 2024. The following liverwurst products are subject to recall (view labels):
