Boar's Head meat recall (Listeria, mostly deli counter) [July 2024]

Kroger just robocalled me based on our recent grocery buying data.

Boar’s Head is recalling about 7 million pounds of meat:

FYI: my packaged chicken chorizo sausage … looks … solid.

I would toss any deli meat and cheese you’ve purchased in the last ten days from a store that carries Boars Head.

I hope their specialty hummus dips are okay.

I won’t say you’re wrong, but why cheese? The plant involved doesn’t make cheese and no cheese is mentioned in the recall. You think cross-contam in the store from the slicer? Every Publix deli I’ve ever been to has different slicers for the meat and the cheese.

This sucks; food costs are skyrocketing as it is.

Couldn’t you/one take it back to the store where it was purchased and get a full refund?

I know Kroger advised me to do exactly this.

That’s what I did for the deli meat I bought last Friday night (the 1st day of the recall.) It was turkey and chicken but I didn’t feel comfortable in case of cross-contamination and they had no problem taking it back the next day for a refund.

I guess it’s down to how confident you are in your supermarket’s policies being followed.
