At least nine people have died after being infected with Listeria from Boar’s Head deli meats tied to a massive recall last month.
The new food poisoning toll includes one death in Tennessee, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.
At least 57 people have been sickened and hospitalized in the outbreak. It is the largest listeria outbreak in the U.S. since 2011, and Boar’s Head has recalled more than 7 million pounds of deli products.
The infections are especially dangerous for older people, those who are pregnant or those with weakened immune systems.
All the recalled deli meats have been removed from stores and are no longer available, Boar’s Head officials said on the company’s website.
