Boar바카라 게임 웹사이트�s Head will close the Virginia plant that produced deli meat products tied to a deadly listeria outbreak, the company said on Friday.The move is part of several changes made after what it called a 바카라 게임 웹사이트�dark moment in our company바카라 게임 웹사이트�s history.바카라 게임 웹사이트� Boar바카라 게임 웹사이트�s Head said it will permanently discontinue sales of liverwurst after an investigation found its production process was the root cause of the listeria contamination. It will also appoint a new food safety officer and food safety council made up of independent industry experts.바카라 게임 웹사이트�We remain steadfast in our commitment to our customers and to the safety and quality of our products,바카라 게임 웹사이트� the company said in a letter to consumers. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�We are determined to learn from this experience and emerge stronger.바카라 게임 웹사이트�U.S. Department of Agriculture바카라 게임 웹사이트�s Food Safety Inspection Service reports from the Boar바카라 게임 웹사이트�s Head facility in Jarratt, Virginia, have described insects, mold, 바카라 게임 웹사이트�blood in puddles on the floor바카라 게임 웹사이트� and a 바카라 게임 웹사이트�rancid smell in the cooler바카라 게임 웹사이트� at various points since 2022. Another report from 2022 cited 바카라 게임 웹사이트�major deficiencies바카라 게임 웹사이트� with the plant바카라 게임 웹사이트�s physical conditions 바카라 게임 웹사이트� rusty equipment, peeling and flaking paint, loose caulk, holes in walls, product residue on surfaces and dripping condensation 바카라 게임 웹사이트� those posed an 바카라 게임 웹사이트�imminent threat.바카라 게임 웹사이트� The reports said plant management was notified and directed to take corrective action.But a USDA Notice of Suspension for the Virginia facility, shared by Boar바카라 게임 웹사이트�s Head, describes 바카라 게임 웹사이트�inadequate controls바카라 게임 웹사이트� that allowed equipment and employees to move throughout the facility, potentially spreading bacteria.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Given the seriousness of the outbreak, and the fact that it originated at Jarratt, we have made the difficult decision to indefinitely close this location, which has not been operational since late July 2024,바카라 게임 웹사이트� the company said in the letter. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�It pains us to impact the livelihoods of hundreds of hard-working employees. We do not take lightly our responsibility as one of the area바카라 게임 웹사이트�s largest employers. But, under these circumstances, we feel that a plant closure is the most prudent course.바카라 게임 웹사이트�The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says 57 people have been hospitalized in 18 states in connection with the listeria outbreak, and nine people have died. The agency called it the largest listeria outbreak since one linked to cantaloupe in 2011.The actual number of illnesses is probably higher than what바카라 게임 웹사이트�s been reported because some people may have had milder illnesses and were not tested for listeria, the CDC said.
