As more has come out about this, it is quite disappointing. I used to swear by Boars Head and would choose the store I am going too based on if they carried it.

A mistake happening and causing a serious problem is still obviously bad, but is one thing. But from what they are describing I have no idea how this was able to continue running.
I know right now it is stopping me from getting basically any deli meat or similar products from any brand.

This, we used to get meat from the 'good' Kroger because their deli had a better selection than the one in our neighborhood. If the premium brand is poison, I'm not sure what that says for the budget brands.
- dan_quixote 2y agoI think your perception of "premium" is flawed in this case.
- SllX 2y agoPeople keep saying that in this thread, but Boar’s Head does taste better than the crap that was more common before it. I’ve since found better deli meats, but even if I never eat another Boar’s Head product again, I’ll never eat Oscar Meyer or the other crap that was on the shelf next to it either again, or whatever Safeway was selling in its deli before they did their whole rebrand to serving Boar’s Head (actually I don’t shop there either anymore but for unrelated reasons).
- nerdjon 2y agoTastes better but also has a better texture. For me it got to the point that I would rather have deli meat less than get more of some cheaper brand.
- SllX 2y agoOnly job of my life I miss is the one where I had at-will access to an espresso machine and deli slicer. Thinly sliced London Broil Roast Beef as thin as the slicer will allow fresh off the slicer just can’t be beat.
