US health officials announced a recall of some Boar’s Head liverwurst and other deli meats as they investigate a listeria outbreak that has sickened nearly three dozen people and caused two deaths.

Boar’s Head recalled its liverwurst because it may be tainted with the listeria bacteria, the US Agriculture Department said. The company is also recalling additional deli meats that were produced on the same line and on the same day as the liverwurst.

They include liverwurst, ham, beef salami, bologna and other products made at the firm’s Jarratt, Virginia, plant.
