Boar's Head plans to reopen its Jarratt, Virginia facility linked to a deadly Listeria outbreak, bringing jobs back to the community while raising questions about food safety measures.

MONDAY, Aug. 11, 2025 (HealthDay News) — A Boar’s Head deli meat plant in Virginia that was linked to a deadly listeria outbreak last year will reopen soon, federal officials say. But recent inspections show similar sanitation problems at other company sites.

Recent inspections at Boar’s Head sites in three states documented sanitation problems similar to those that led to the listeria contamination that killed 10 people and sickened dozens.
