Millions of pounds of meat items are being pulled off the market by food manufacturer Boar’s Head Provisions in an expansion of an earlier recall triggered by food safety issues.

On July 26, the Florida-based company recalled more than 207,000 pounds of liverwurst and deli meat products due to concerns that the items could be contaminated with listeria monocytogenes bacteria.
