Boar’s Head Settling Claims over Listeriosis

11/22/2024

Boar’s Head and its insurers have reached a settlement with a plaintiff class as a result of a widespread outbreak of listeriosis.  Given the reports now made public relating to deficiencies in hygiene and management at the Jarratt, VA. plant, Boar’s Head has no viable defense since documented deviations from accepted manufacturing processes in the plant conform to the legal definition of res ipso loquitor - the fact speaks for itself.

 

Although the outbreak appears to have ended following recall of 7.0 billion pounds of ready-to-eat meat products, of which approximately 2.5 million pounds was actually recalled, the outbreak comprised 60 diagnosed cases with ten fatalities.
