Whelp not buying Boars head anymore!

[@Jamietheroadrunner]

Wow! Someone’s about to file for bankruptcy in order to dodge some huge lawsuits!

[@watsonspuzzle]

Boar's Head won't survive this, and they shouldn't.

[@First1ToComment]

Rip to the company

[@matthewona]

This is an injustice to the people who died and got sick and the the animals who gave there flesh/meat just to be wasted and thrown away in the end due to lax infection control

[@hopemanley4358]

Awful the slow response by Boarshead company. Disgusting.

[@reecom9884]

“According to the CDC, pregnant people can eat cold cuts if they're heated to a minimum internal temperature of 165°F or until they're "steaming hot". When microwaving cold cuts, you can set it to high heat and cook for 30 seconds to a minute, depending on the portion size. Microwaves can heat food unevenly, so make sure the entire product reaches the desired temperature…” No more cold cuts without it being nuked in the microwave or heated in a skillet.

[@zachspence7651]

Yeah. People will blame this one company, but really any company in this day and age is at risk and the situation will never get better in our lifetimes.

[@Nabd]

Well that company is done. This is a huge lawsuit and if the company is found to be at fault, kiss this company goodbye.

[@justoneman3916]

Thanks for the history. FDA alert and recall was issued over a month ago so you might want to consider signing up to receive those alerts if this is news to you.

[@edwardbeale2994]

Still feeling sick from eating very expensive garbage. I have receipts to prove purchases for the last many years. Tomorrow i speak to my attorny. Can you say lawsuit.

[@muffinman4353]

That ultra-processed crap is no good for you to begin with..... Stay away.

[@OleScrappy]

Don't throw out the meats, return it all for your money back. This is the only way companies preparing food will get the message--$$$. Cleanliness and descent wages for employees is what saves lives.

[@tomhenry897]

Can’t wait for the lawsuit

[@jennslifeinhuntingtonwv2678]

Im pretty sure i had a mild case last week.

[@JuanGarcia-g2j6w]

Thanks I had some of my fridge I was about eating so that guys video and I'm not going to eat it now

[@AnythingJW]

people still eat deli meat after the outbreak?

[@phillyclassicfilms2154]

Not a coincidence I was in acme 2 weeks ago and I noticed they got rid off all the other brand lunch meat expect boars head and I asked the worker I said oh yall only sell all board head lunch meat now he said yea I thought that was strange cauS just 3 months ago this acme sold just about every brand name lunch meat u could think of..They even stopped selling Dietz and Watson I thiunf that was strange but what was even stranger is the next day I was doin instavrt and had a order at a giants and had to go to the deli for lunch meat and how it ironic all they had they’re to was all boar head lunch meat and a few store brand name lunch meats…something strange is going on on

[@ab0ve8cl0uds2]

bruh i was eating this everyday but havent in a month wow

[@DangerDave-e7u]

WTH!?

[@valeriel3103]

No, safety was never a priority!

[@STLforEVER]

Dates. Months. Year???

[@IAmKate444]

Well that company is about to go bust…..

[@zachspence7651]

We all know why this happened. This can happen to any company. Expect the decline to continue.

[@banzairunner7860]

Can’t trust anything anymore

[@user-mn5xo6yk8p]

I am very disappointed at boar's head brands, I always liked their products, it shows nobody cares about consumers, only the money that flows in the pocket, boar's head was had violations in past, makes me wonder why food inspectors were not more tougher on business's when violations start to occur

[@rayjay238]

Is deli meat getting thrown under the bus. Not the condiments or bread

[@Mikomido5]

I don’t like to eat luncheon meats due to nitrates they contain.

[@TheSouthIsHot]

When you're hired based solely on your skin color or gender, you couldn't care less if you're doing your job well.

[@twomorningsbackfromyesterd1240]

Bruh, get off of those drugs and turn your life around.

[@JohnDoe-pd4jo]

Wtf are you on? Just say that you’re a ra1cst and call it a day. Gtfoh with this bs.

[@pedrocortez3485]

Recall all boars head products period. This will not bode well. All those who have past or been sick because of this will file lawsuits, especially on the decreased behalf. Sad to say this but boars head will not recover from this.

[@angelicasoup638]

Stay away from processed foods.

[@viciousKev]

Food shortage inbound

[@christopherdollbaum8819]

I've always feared old lunch meat. Two weeks for cured meats that have been open. Then I toss it. Sealed bacon can go a little longer, but liverwurst?

[@kolbybeautymakeupartist]

Interesting

[@F5_cena]

Boycott

[@Javy_Valen_Tain]

You are not even save eating meat in the US 😢

[@kellycraddock269]

Bobblehead bobbie is really that ignorant…

[@couchguy427]

Good ole denial. Dems in power, its their fault. Republicans in power, its dems fault. Dont derp too hard there brainiac or you might have a stroke. Then blame dems....

[@kodik3263]

Wat does that have to do with anything?

[@victoriaporter8665]

What does your political affiliation have to do with lunch meat😂😂😂😂😂i work for a retailer in Florida who push boars heard mercissly,so it's both sides eating it😂😂😂😂just wierd 😂😂😂😂

[@zz-.-]

Boars head execs: “Safety is our utmost priority” Also Boars head execs: “Maybe if we hide under our desks and be quiet it will all just go away?” 🤡🤡🤡

[@alkdjfhgks1919]

You're confused... They have already issues warnings, what are they hiding from? Please use your brain and stop being one of those unintelligent conspiracy theorists

[@zz-.-]

@@alkdjfhgks1919 so “they said they are sorry!” Is good enough? Please stop being combative and just think critically for a moment with me. How about: - confirming all batches are identified and either destroyed or given guidance to destroy - campaigns to run to lower income customers who may not watch the news and be aware - an update on the steps they have taken to remedy and ensure it never happens again - contributions to the medical bills of people affected - so on and so forth We don’t hold corporations accountable for anything but profits and it’s SAD. Do better.
