Boar's Head has launched a webpage highlighting its food safety efforts after a listeria contamination connected to its liverwurst sickened more than 60 people across 19 states and prompted the indefinite closure of a Virginia plant.
The website includes information about:
- The company's food safety commitment
- The Boar's Head Food Safety Advisory Council
- The food safety processes Boar's Head has in place for quality assurance
- Frequently asked questions about food safety at Boar's Head
