Recent government inspections have uncovered unsanitary conditions at several Boar's Head deli meat plants, not limited to the factory previously closed due to a listeria outbreak. Inspection reports from plants in Indiana, Arkansas, and Virginia detailed concerns such as meat residue on equipment, dripping condensation on food, mold, insects, and other issues dating back several years.
The U.S. Agriculture Department released these inspection records following requests under the Freedom of Information Act. Violations found at these plants mirror those at the Jarratt, Virginia, facility linked to the listeria outbreak.
