Clarification from National Supermarkets on products linked to the listeria outbreak

Nationwide – After Boar’s Head Provisions Co., Inc. announced the voluntary recall of some Boar’s Head brand meat products due to possible contamination with the bacterium Listeria Monocytogenes, the National supermarket reported that the product in question had not been imported into the Dominican Republic and did not belong to its portfolio.

Below is the full statement sent to the newspaper HOY:

On July 25, Boar’s Head® recalled a product from its plant in Virginia for possible bacterial contamination. The product in question, Boar’s Head® Strassburger Brand Liverwurst (pork liver pâté) has not been imported into the Dominican Republic at any time and therefore does not belong to our portfolio.
