The article states that these horrendous, disgusting infractions of health regulations have been documented out for at least the previous year, but given their severity, I'd imagine it's always been this way at Boar's Head production facilities.

I'm going to cook my deli meats from now on, no matter where they come from.

It's unclear whether Boar's Head will face any penalties by the USDA for the repeat issues.

We'll waffle on penalties for Boar's Head but immediately shut down a kid selling homemade ice cream.

What a fucked up world we live in.

To be fair, that kid was trying to raise money for a good cause and we don’t want anything good to happen ever. /s

You can cook everything you eat if you want, and it'd probably reduce the number of microbes you get exposed to.

However, you're going to be foregoing stuff like fresh vegetables. Those are a factor via which disease can and has traveled. But it's something that I don't particularly want to give up.

Raw milk is a listeria vector, and some cheeses made from it -- especially those imported from Europe -- make use of raw milk. That's probably avoidable.

You do realise that EU have much higher food production standards than the US?
