It wasn’t intentional like some chemical business dumping the hazardous waste in rivers, mining processes (Picher OK good example) contaminating ground water or asbestos industries killing thousands and new it. Food processing in general accident waiting to happen

How many even know About Picher OK?

Thats a small number of people since it impacts the whole U.S. I have no clue how anyone sees bankruptcy coming. Kinda over dramatic!

I see your point in terms of the tremendous amount of the company’s deli meat sold nationwide at thousands of deli counters and restaurants — compared with the small number of those sickened. On the other hand, one dead or sick is one too many. There are lawsuits underway against the company: one in Missouri by an 88 year old woman whose liverwurst was tainted, for example. And a class action suit is underway in New York.Company will probably survive but will need a major PR campaign to regain consumer confidence.

Bluebell survived. Should be very similar process and PR campaign.

I guess I will have to die of something. I always figured living in the sunshine state with skin cancer would get me first, or more likely gluttony.

Who still eats Liverwurst these days?

Actually, Boars Head lunch meat is higher quality as compared to most. This type of bacteria can happen in any food source. It’s awful…I won’t be buying it soon.

It's Boar Head today, tomorrow it's Tesla or Ford, Boeing.
This problem is not isolated to any one company.
This is what you get when you put profits over safety.
A company starts with a good product and as they start to expand, they hire the bean counters to maximize the profits.
These hire guns jobs have one job, to increase profits and if they have to cut corners to do so they will do it without thinking twice about safety.

Think about that next time you bring up the idea of retiring to The Villages with your friends from back home.

Absolutely disgusting. And they market themselves as a premium product. SMH.

Not many people eat their products though.

Are there any places around here that you can buy farm eggs or meat from butcher. We are from Ohio and we had easy access to farm eggs and a local butcher.

Best Meats on 301 offers both chubs and their own ground beef, they also cut meat to order in addition to keeping freezer cases of cut meats.

For eggs, you could check the farmer's market at Rolling Acres. I think they're re-opening this month on Tuesday mornings. Sometimes there's an egg lady. If you find her, you can ask her location. She also sells out of her farm, not just at the market.
