The outbreak has shaken consumer confidence in Boar's Head, a brand long associated with quality and family tradition. The company, founded in Sarasota, Florida, has expressed deep regret over the incident and has initiated a full recall of its products. Boar's Head has deep ties with another Florida company, Publix; they have had a 30+-year partnership as Publix up-brand deli meat.
Boar's Head Response Boar's Head spokesperson, Elizabeth Ward, expressed deep regret over the impact of the recall, stating that food safety is the company's "absolute priority." She emphasized that the USDA has inspectors at the Jarratt plant every day and that the company addresses any issues identified by the inspectors immediately. Despite these assurances, the repeated violations and the tragic consequences of the outbreak suggest a systemic failure in maintaining proper hygiene and safety standards.
Looking Forward As Boar's Head works to disinfect the Jarratt plant and retrain its employees, the company faces mounting scrutiny and potential legal repercussions. The outbreak has not only tarnished the reputation of a once-trusted brand but also long-term partners like Publix, who have touted Boar's Head in their Pub-Subs for years.
For the families affected by this outbreak, no words can fully express their pain and loss. The hope now is that this incident will serve as a wake-up call for the entire food industry to prioritize the health and safety of consumers above all else.
