The latest CDC update on the ongoing listeria outbreak tied to Boar's Head deli meat has shown a slowing of reported illnesses and deaths, the agency said Wednesday.
One new death, two new hospitalizations and a case of illness in one new state have been recorded since the last CDC notice on Aug. 28, bringing the total numbers to 59 sick, including 10 dead, across 19 states.
The new death occurred in New York, making it the second in the state, said officials. The outbreak also spread to Louisiana, where one hospitalization has now been reported.
Boar's Head has recalled 71 products since July 26, equating to about 7.2 million pounds of deli meats. The brand is also facing legal action, with at least one class-action suit on the books as of early August. The family of one victim, an 88-year-old Holocaust survivor from Virginia, previously spoke to USA TODAY about his death and plans to take legal action.
