Not sure what your response has to do with what I posted.

Not familiar with the story but you do not want to know what goes into a hotdog, sausage or salami, the meat is ground together so if one piece is contaminated it all is. Retelling an old story. A friend went to deli by his home. not in florida, and bought a hero. He got some kind of infection that damaged his heart and last I heard he was on disability As I said old story. Cause? Was it the hero? Coincidence? The deli burned down shortly after.

You never know. Also not fla, we used to go to a Chinese takeout place like once a week.
I saw the cook sharpen his knife on the floor and continue cutting food.

Food standards say so many bugs per. Like the lottery winners are rare but someone gets the bug.

Jack in the Box killed quite a few.

Google says two or four depending on how you count secondary infections.

350 children under the age of five drown in pools each year nationwide. The majority of the deaths occur in June, July and August; most in backyard pools.

I would guess that the problem is NOT ENOUGH inspectors. People clamor for fewer government regulations up UNTIL there are problems, then they CLAMOR for more regulations.

Spinach killed in 2006. Romaine and cantaloupe have been guilty, too. I know awful things can happen with the food industry but according to reports, violations were obvious at that Virginia plant. Where was the plant manager?

Boar’s Head has spent a fortune building its brand — which I admit had lulled me into a false sense of security on the rare occasion when I bought “lunch meat” — as we from my neck of the woods call it.

It will be a very long time before I get past this, if ever.

Was Boar’s Head cutting corners with employees and production while directing money into branding?

Boar’s Head had even built a rather elitist mode into certain grocery chains, where Boar’s Head was available only in specific neighborhoods. That big, price-gouging chain that is based in Ohio — and is trying to get even bigger — is known to have varying levels of stores depending on the net worth of the neighborhoods. There was a time when not every store in the chain was entitled to Boar’s Head. Might still be that way……And now, here it is….

The emperor is stark nekkid.

Even though this killer outbreak was supposedly confined to certain versions of the Boar’s Head products from one plant, I cannot help but think this mess will take its toll on the charcuterie fad…..

Charcuterie is everywhere now……

with books with pictures of veritable works of art (which the first person in line wrecks)

— and pretty boards and tiny dishes and fancy jams and every kind of olive imaginable and every shape of crackers, gluten-free and otherwise…..

and — starring processed meats!

Charcuterie boards surely have been a boon to the mystery meat business.

Will we ever look at charcuterie boards in the same way?

Or can the cheese stand alone and carry on, with all that pretty stuff around it. No meat in sight, for a while, anyway.

Boar’s Head, you will find out how far your half-assedness is going to reach.

Publix may have thoughts of ending their tight-knit association with Boars Head. Looks like Congressional Hearings about Boars Head filthy facility are lurking.

I suspect charcuterie boards will look the same today/tomorrow as they did last week/month. I'll find out next week when I order one.

I certainly hope not. I'll be ordering a PubSub this week and would like it to taste as good as it always has.

This would be nice. While they're busy showboating in hearings they don't have time to do something even more foolish.

Quality control issues are widespread throughout our economy. When it affects large companies like Boeing and Boar's Head it makes headlines. I don't believe either company was looking to save money by promoting unsanitary conditions in their factories or having doors fly off planes or rockets being stuck in space. But we see it every day from auto mechanics to retail workers to repair and maintenance professionals to government employees, etc. Not to be political, but maybe the latest headline example was how was it possible for that shooter to ever get on the roof in Penn. In all of the above somebody was not focused on their job and there was poor supervision. A work force problem at all levels. You might say we are seeing the fruits of societal issues.
