Boar's Head is recalling 207,528 pounds of liverwurst and other ready-to-eat deli meat products, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service has announced, in response to concern they may contain listeria.

Last week the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued an alert warning of a listeriosis infection linked to deli meats resulting in 28 hospitalizations and two deaths.

The CDC says that about 48 million people get sick from foodborne diseases every year .

Consuming ground beef can put you at a greater risk of E. coli exposure.

Anything that’s contaminated with animal feces, such as produce grown in fields, has the potential to expose you to the disease.

Hepatitis A is a highly contagious liver infection caused by the hepatitis A virus.

Norovirus is responsible for about 50% of all outbreaks of food-related illness.
