The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has initiated an internal investigation into its handling of reports concerning unsanitary conditions at a Boar's Head deli meat plant linked to a listeria outbreak that resulted in at least 10 deaths and nearly 50 hospitalizations. Senator Richard Blumenthal has raised concerns over the adequacy of responses from federal and state inspectors to numerous violations over the past two years. The investigation aims to determine if proper measures were taken to prevent contaminated products from reaching consumers.
