Bad news for fans of liverwurst, good news for fans of not dying because of the sandwich they packed for lunch:

Boar’s Head announced on Friday that it would indefinitely shut down the troubled Virginia deli meat plant that it acknowledged had caused a deadly listeria outbreak, killing nine people and sickening dozens more in 18 states.

The company also said it had identified liverwurst processing as the source of contamination and would permanently discontinue the product.

“Given the seriousness of the outbreak, and the fact that it originated at Jarratt, we have made the difficult decision to indefinitely close this location,” the company said in a statement posted on its website Friday. The shutdown affects about 500 workers in Jarratt, Va., a small rural town whose economic livelihood largely depended on the plant’s business.

Federal inspectors had repeatedly found health and sanitation violations at the plant.

“In response to the inspection records and noncompliance reports at the Jarratt plant, we will not make excuses,” the company said in a statement.

The details are very grim. Anyway, if you think America’s meat production is over-regulated definitely vote for Trump.
