‘Unidentified slime’: Bombshell report exposes off-putting conditions at popular deli-meat company’s plants

(FOX BUSINESS) — Inspectors for the Department of Agriculture found unsanitary conditions including “insects and slime” at Boar’s Head facilities beyond the now-shuttered plant linked to last year’s deadly listeria outbreak, reports show.

The USDA has released a series of non-compliance reports linked to Boar’s Head following Freedom of Information Act requests from several news agencies, the Associated Press reported Tuesday.
