The CDC and USDA FSIS announced new updates for the recalled Boar's Head deli meat products linked to a fatal nationwide listeria outbreak.
The agency announced an update on Wednesday that "as of September 23, a total of 59 people infected with the outbreak strain of Listeria have been reported from 19 states."
The affected products were distributed nationwide and exported to the Cayman Islands, the Dominican Republic, Mexico and Panama, according to the agency. Listeria can cause severe illness "when the bacteria spread beyond the gut to other parts of the body" after a person consumes contaminated food, per the CDC. Those at higher risk include pregnant people, those aged 65 or older, or anyone who has a weakened immune system, the CDC says.
