Popular deli cheese recalled

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is recalling a selection of Boar’s Head deli products due to a labeling error.

According to a recall notice, 65 cases (or 780 packages) of Boar’s Head Smoked Gouda Cheese, have been recalled for mislabeling.

The cheese was sold in 8-ounce packages. The cheese was only distributed to Florida.

Boar’s Head explained the reason for the recall in a statement to All Recipes.

“(This recall) is due to a third-party supplier mistakenly placing an incorrect cheese label on the back of the packaging,” said a spokesperson for the company. “There are no food safety, quality or health risks associated with this issue, and no consumers were affected.”

It is classified as a Level III recall, typically issued when a product violates labeling or manufacturing regulations but is unlikely to cause adverse health consequences.

Who qualifies for the Boar’s Head deli meat settlement?

A 2024 recall of some 7 million pounds of deli meat has prompted a class action lawsuit and a proposed $3.1 million settlement.

To be eligible, a customer must have purchased any of the included products between May 10 – Aug. 12, 2024. The deadline to submit the claim was May 16.

Boar’s Head Provision Co. announced a recall of liverwurst and other deli meats in 2024 due to listeria contamination. Initially, the recall covered some 200,000 pounds of products but it was later expanded to 7 million pounds from its Jarratt, Virginia facility. The products were sold under the Boar’s Head and Old Country brand names.

The final hearing is set for Aug. 13 and, if approved, payments will follow.
