86% Informative

Boar's Head plant in Jarratt , Virginia , is blamed for deadly listeria outbreak linked to liverwurst.

Food safety officials have pledged a "top-to-bottom review" of what went wrong leading up to outbreak.

Department of Agriculture records show significant cuts to planned testing for germs across America 's food supply.

Records show inspectors had concerns about the plant dating back to at least 2022 , when they conducted a food safety assessment of the facility.

Short of deciding to suspend inspection at the facility, inspectors can seek ramped-up inspections over an "increased public health risk" "It makes you wonder if the whole regulatory structure needs some rethinking," Gremillion says.
