How lapses in hygiene and inspection led to the Boar's Head listeria outbreak

How lapses in hygiene and inspection led to the Boar's Head listeria outbreak

The recent listeria outbreak tied to Boar's Head deli meats highlights how potential lapses in food safety practices at the company’s plant can lead to recalls and illness. The outbreak, linked to contaminated products like liverwurst, has sickened 57 people and reported to have led to nine deaths across 18 states. Reports from the USDA reveal that the facility had critical sanitation issues, including mold, mildew and insect infestations. These problems, coupled with inadequate inspection oversight, under-score the need for stringent hygiene standards and more rigorous inspections to prevent such outbreaks.

 
• Understand the root causes: Poor hygiene and maintenance, such as mold and insects, increase contamination risks. ABB Installation Products offers solutions to help address these issues.
• Promote proper sanitation: help ensure facilities maintain high cleanliness standards by scheduling Preventative Maintenance Walkthroughs with an ABB expert.
• Support enhanced oversight: Advocate for stricter regulations and inspections. Consult our Market Development Manager, Brian Barr, to address plant needs.
