  2. …uhhh, where was USDA when all this was going on? I work in a Federally inspected food plant with USDA-FSIS inspectors permanantly stationed on-site and they roam around ALL DAY and are NOT shy about pointing out deficiencies or threatening to red-tag anything if they sense defiance…

  3. Would have thought on-site self-inspection of the bacterial zoo and proper processing would have minimized “escapes” when their company is on the line. But, oh wait, yeah, Boeing.

    I enjoy the hell out of some of their products. Before we all get whipped up in a lather how did their citations compare to the rest of the industry. After all, those citations are revenue for our corrupt feds.

  5. Wow. Destroying YEARS worth of high reputation in one swoop. It’s only going to get worse as the investigaion and resulting lawsuits reveal the sordid details. Boars’ Head should be called Boars’ Ass.

  6. Boars Head isn’t a big spender when it comes to political donations. The only political donation I can find is $216.00. To Donald Trump. Maybe not Boars ass you one dimensional thinker.

  7. In a similar vein, I refuse to buy Chobani products because…
    “Chobani has been a vocal advocate for refugee resettlement and has actively employed refugees from various countries, including Iraq, Afghanistan, Turkey, and others.”
    …I don’t want some guy who wipes his ass with his hand anywhere near my food.

  8. Their overworked and underpaid illegal workers are probably taking a shit in the bologna vats because they’re not allowed to leave the factory floor for 8 hours at a stretch.
