The US Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) said the recall expansion includes 71 products produced between Friday, May 10, and Monday, July 29, 2024, under the Boar’s Head and Old Country brand names.

The products, all made at Boar's Head's facility in Jarratt, Virginia, have “sell by” dates ranging from 29 July 2024 to 17 Oct. 24.

The products shipped to retailers bear the establishment number “EST. 12612” or “P-12612” inside the USDA mark of inspection on the product labels.

Stop & Shop said on Tuesday, July 30 that it is "encouraging customers who purchased any in-store sliced deli meats and cheese products" prior to July 30, "to discard them due to the risk of cross-contamination.

"This applies to products purchased both online and in-store, as both are handled in-store delis. Any deli item purchased before July 30 is eligible for a full refund."
