$3.1M Boar’s Head meat recall class action settlement

Boar’s Head Provisions Co. agreed to a $3.1 million class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims that it sold recalled meat products contaminated with listeria.

The settlement benefits consumers who purchased Boar’s Head products between May 10, 2024, and Aug. 12, 2024, that were later recalled due to potential listeria contamination.

On July 25 and 29, 2024, Boar’s Head announced a voluntary recall of certain meat products due to potential listeria contamination. Listeria is a foodborne illness that can cause serious symptoms in healthy individuals but can be deadly for vulnerable populations, such as the elderly, pregnant women and immunocompromised individuals.

Consumers quickly took legal action against Boar’s Head, arguing the company should have known its products were contaminated with listeria. Plaintiffs in the case say they suffered economic damages when they purchased the contaminated products.

Boar’s Head is a meat and cheese company that sells products in delis and grocery stores across the country.

Boar’s Head has not admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to a $3.1 million class action lawsuit settlement to resolve the allegations.

Under the terms of the Boar’s Head settlement, class members can receive a full refund for each recalled product they purchased, if they have proof of purchase. Without proof of purchase, class members can receive an average retail price for up to two recalled products per household.

If class members received reimbursement from Boar’s Head for the recalled products, their settlement payment will be reduced by the amount of reimbursement they received.

The deadline for exclusion and objection is May 16, 2025.

The final approval hearing for the Boar’s Head settlement is scheduled for Aug. 13, 2025.

To receive settlement benefits, class members must submit a valid claim form by May 16, 2025.
