Listeria confirmed: Onondaga County Health Department alerts residents

The Onondaga County Health Department is urging residents to check their refrigerators for contaminated deli meat after one person fell ill. There’s a nationwide recall of Boar’s Head deli meats due to potential listeria contamination, which can cause a serious gastrointestinal infection.

Pregnant women, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems should be especially cautious. The health department urges residents to dispose of any meat products that are part of the recall, and to call your doctor if you have symptoms or concerns.

For a complete list of recalled products, visit the USDA website.
