It’s too easy to vilify the food producers IMO. We must accept that we are contributing by constantly seeking the highest quantity & quality for the absolute minimum prices which results in high-volume, low-cost production (corner cutting). Boars Head will be easier than most to vilify since their brand is perceived to be luxury/premium, high-end—which few can even afford now.
In fact, our declining economy may have caused a suddenly lower demand, which in turn may have slowed product turnover & provided additional time for the Listeria bacteria to grow.
