Listeria-Related Recalls Prompt Proposed Class Actions - Food and Beverage Litigation and Regulatory Update

Shook, Hardy & Bacon L.L.P.

Boar’s Head, Treehouse Foods and BrucePac face proposed class actions following a series of Listeria-related recalls. Harper v. Boar’s Head Provisions Co. Inc., No. 24-0860 (E.D. Cal., filed October 21, 2024); Bryant v. Bruce Packing Company, Inc., No. 24-5636 (E.D. Penn., filed October 23, 2024); Browne v. Treehouse Foods Inc., No. 24-7578 (E.D.N.Y., filed October 30, 2024). Two of the plaintiffs allege they consumed products from the companies—Boar's Head Beef Salami and Marketside Caesar Salad from BrucePac—and became ill. The third plaintiff alleged she purchased products from Trader Joe’s that were subject to the warning that they possibly contained Listeria. They allege the companies failed to warn of the presence of listeria in their products.
