A pregnant woman from Minnesota who said she “nearly lost her unborn child” is now suing Boar’s Head because she says she was infected by listeria after eating the company’s deli meat sold at a Publix supermarket in Florida.
The lawsuit from Ashley Solberg comes amid a multi-state outbreak of Listeria monocytogenes.
Boar’s Head recently recalled 7 million pounds’ worth of ready-to-eat meat and poultry products, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).
The lawsuit, which was filed in the District of Minnesota on Wednesday, is the first federal lawsuit following the mass recall.
