    At least seven lawsuits have now been filed against Boar’s Head since the cold cut company recalled its products after a listeria outbreak that’s killed nine people, including one New Yorker, according to a report.

    A total of 58 people were sickened in 18 states by spoiled meat originating from Boar’s Heads tainted Virginia plant , which had reports of mold, mildew, and insects.

    The company recalled millions of pounds of deli meats after people started getting ill.

    Wow! I really loved their meats. Too bad. I guess the workers got caught up with sloppiness and the fact that there's no inspections.
