This year's deadly listeria outbreak involving Boar's Head meats​ prompted one Long Island deli to change its business model.

Boar’s Head Provisions Co. has recalled many of its products due to an outbreak of listeria that reportedly caused the deaths of nine people.

While the USDA is responsible for oversight of daily operations at meat processing plants such as Boar’s Head, the agency relied on staff from Virginia, who were not USDA employees, to do inspections as part of the State Cooperative Inspections Program which allows state employees to do federal inspections.
