Bugs, mold and mildew found in Boar's Head plant linked to deadly listeria outbreak

U.S. Department of Agriculture inspectors turned up dozens of violations at a Boar's Head plant in Virginia now linked to a nationwide recall of deli meats, according to new records released by the department, including mold, mildew and insects repeatedly found throughout the site.

Last month, Boar's Head recalled all of the deli meats made at its plant in Jarratt, Virginia, after a listeria outbreak was blamed on products distributed from the site. 

The outbreak has grown to 57 hospitalizations in more than a dozen states linked to recalled products from the plant. At least eight deaths have now been reported, including new fatalities linked to the outbreak in recent days from Florida, Tennessee, New Mexico and South Carolina.
