Sep 25, 2024, 07:49 PM
The Boar’s Head deli meat plant in Jarratt, Virginia, has been shut down indefinitely following a deadly listeria outbreak involving Boar's Head meats. The outbreak has resulted in 10 deaths across 19 states, with the latest fatality reported in New York. The plant's closure has significantly impacted Greenville County, Virginia, where it was the largest employer, leaving 500 people without jobs. A former sanitation manager at the plant revealed that health and safety issues were flagged but not adequately addressed, with shortcuts taken, leading to the contamination. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has been monitoring the situation closely.
