DAILY DOSE: Dogs Dream Like Humans, Study Shows; Boar’s Head Deli Plant Linked to Deaths.
FEDERAL INSPECTORS FIND SANITATION ISSUES AT DELI PLANT. Federal inspectors discovered serious sanitation issues at a Boar’s Head deli meat plant in Jarratt, Virginia, which has been linked to nine deaths from listeria. Over a year, inspectors noted problems like black mold, water dripping over meat, and dead flies but did not prompt a recall. The outbreak, which affected 57 people, was traced to contaminated liverwurst from the plant. Despite USDA zero-tolerance rules for listeria, the plant’s issues persisted, with many problems documented but not leading to immediate recalls. The plant was shut down until it could ensure safety. Boar’s Head expanded its recall to cover all meat processed at the plant after listeria was found. The CDC and other experts have highlighted concerns about the effectiveness of current listeria control methods and emphasized the need for better prevention strategies. (New York Times)
