A deadly food poisoning outbreak has led to the recall of more than 7 million pounds of popular Boar's Head deli meats made at a plant in Virginia.
Listeria poisoning is caused by a particularly resilient type of bacteria that can survive and grow even during refrigeration, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.Listeria bacteria thrive in moist environments, including soil and water and decaying vegetation and are carried by some animals. The hardy germs are typically spread when food is harvested, processed, transported or stored in places that are contaminated with the bacteria.
Those most vulnerable to getting sick include the very young, people older than 65 and those with weakened immune systems or who are pregnant.Listeria can survive and grow in food even when it's refrigerated, but the bacteria can be killed by heating foods to “steaming hot,” or 165 degrees Fahrenheit , the CDC says. People who are most at risk for illness should avoid the products or heat them before eating.Most deli meats, however, are eaten cold.
The NCPA said Thursday it is against the approval of the settlement terms in the House, Hubbard and Carter antitrust cases.The NFL won’t suspend Chiefs’ Rashee Rice at the start of the 2024 season for his role in Dallas car crash.
