This is crazy. I guess I am kind of confused and the article explains nothing... what are they doing to stop this? They closed down a plant but what else? How did this person 3 months later still get contaminated meat? Also I guess I just assumed people would stop selling Boars Head until it's safe again, but clearly that's also not happening, so what are they doing? If I was a deli there is no way I would be offering up boars head right now.
Most likely theyve been sick for a while. Though I don't know much about listeria. That plant should be nuked from orbit
They have. And for any remaining plants they are dropping liverwurst from production.
What we really need is better proactive safety inspections in food production, and jail time for production management and company leadership in the case of negligently unsanitary practices, like the ones found in this facility.
We won't get it, though. Regulations are bad for business, and you can't hurt the job creators... but that's kind of the point of regulations. They are there to make not following the letter of the law more impactful than following it.
