USDA's Inspector General has opened an investigation into the agency’s handling of repeated food safety violations at a Boar’s Head plant linked to a deadly listeria outbreak.
Members of Congress are calling for justice and federal action for those impacted by a listeria outbreak tied to a Virginia Boar’s Head facility as the death toll rises.
Boar’s Head announced Friday it plans to indefinitely close its Jarratt, Virginia plant, which produced deli meat linked to a deadly listeria outbreak.
USDA inspectors found mold, a “rancid smell,” rusted equipment and insects at a Boar’s Head facility now associated with a major listeria outbreak that has resulted in nine deaths, according to agency records.
