The list of recalled meat in Massachusetts has been expanded due to possible listeria contamination.

I purchase the Boar's Head Blazing Buffalo sliced chicken breast from my local Big Y weekly, so I got an email alerting me of the expanded recall today.

Big Y and Stop & Shop in Massachusetts had their delis close to disinfect over the last week due to potential listeria contamination from certain Boar's Head products.

Federal authorities said the expansion includes 71 products produced between May 10, 2024, and July 29, 2024, under the Boar’s Head and Old Country brand names.

"These items include meat intended for slicing at retail delis as well as some packaged meat and poultry products sold at retail locations," the bulletin said. -wcvb.com

Listeria is a bacteria likely to cause intestinal discomfort, vomiting and diarrhea

Symptoms usually begin 24 hours after ingesting contaminated food.

The bacteria are most likely to sicken people who are pregnant and their newborns, adults aged 65 or older, and people with weakened immune systems. Other people can be infected with Listeria, but they rarely become seriously ill.
