New Yorker among 9 deaths linked to Boar’s Head deli meat listeria outbreak
By Emily Crane, NY Post, Aug. 29, 2024, 7:27 a.m. ET

A New Yorker is among the nine people who have died as a result of the nationwide listeria outbreak tied to Boar’s Head deli meats, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revealed.

The updated food poisoning death toll was released by federal health officials Wednesday in what has become the largest listeria outbreak in the US since 2011.

At least 57 people have been hospitalized so far in connection to the outbreak, the CDC added.

No details were released on the identity of the New Yorker who died, or where they lived.

The other most recent deaths were reported in South Carolina, Florida, New Mexico and Tennessee. Three deaths were previously confirmed in people who lived in Illinois, New Jersey and Virginia, according to the CDC.

Meanwhile, a total of 17 listeria cases are being investigated across the Empire State — including eight in New York City alone, according to the state’s health department.

The other New Yorkers sickened by the outbreak are located in Nassau and Suffolk counties on Long Island and the upstate counties of Dutchess, Cayuga, Greene, Onondaga and Oswego.

“All infected individuals that we currently have information on have been hospitalized,” the Health Department said in a statement. “One fatality has been reported in New York. To protect the family’s privacy, we cannot disclose further information.”

It comes after Boar’s Head — a 119-year-old family-run business headquartered in Sarasota, Florida — recalled 7 million pounds of deli meats last month as reported illnesses started to spike.

The problem was first discovered when a Boar’s Head liverwurst sample collected by health officials in Maryland tested positive for listeria and further testing showed the type of bacteria was the same strain causing illnesses in people.

Symptoms of listeriosis, which include fever, chills and headache, can take up to 10 weeks to manifest in some individuals.

The infections caused by listeria are particularly dangerous for older people, those who are pregnant or those with weakened immune systems.
