Since early June, over 40 people in the U.S. have contracted listeria infections after eating Boar’s Head deli products, with three people dying. The infections all appear to have originated from one meat processing plant in Virginia.
Late in July, some Boar’s Head delivery workers, working for a local franchise, were told that some products were under a “voluntary recall”—because Jewel, the big grocer, did not want to accept tainted products. However, for at least a few days, Boar’s Head continued to deliver those products to smaller independent delis—ones that had not gotten the word.
So ... a big company with deep pockets sends back meat that might be deadly. But the delivery company lets the mom-and-pops risk their customers’ lives to save a few bucks.
