Over 200,000 pounds of Boar’s Head deli meat have been recalled due to the risk of contamination with listeria, a deadly bacteria.

The recall comes amid a 13-state listeria outbreak announced earlier in July and is tied to deli meat sliced at counters. Federal health authorities are investigating whether the Boar’s Head recall is tied to the outbreak.

The Maryland Department of Health first discovered Listeria contamination in Boar’s Head liverwurst. As a result, ready-to-eat liverwurst made by Boar’s Head is being recalled, along with several other deli meats produced on the same line, including ham, beef salami, bologna, and more.

The products were shipped to retailers, with sell-by dates ranging from July 25 to Aug. 30, 2024. The sell-by dates are printed on the side of the packaging. The recalled Boar’s Head deli meat products were sold at delis nationwide.

The latest info shows 34 people have fallen ill, 33 have been hospitalized and two have died across 13 states, according to the USDA.
