News summary

Günter 'Garshon' Morgenstein, an 88-year-old Holocaust survivor, died from listeria after consuming contaminated deli sausage from Boar's Head, which has prompted a nationwide recall of 7.2 million pounds of products. The outbreak, linked to liverwurst, has resulted in 43 hospitalizations and three confirmed deaths across 13 states. Morgenstein's family expressed shock that he survived the Holocaust only to fall victim to food contamination years later. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reported the outbreak starting on July 19 and has been investigating the source of the contamination, which remains unclear. Boar's Head has issued statements of regret over the situation, emphasizing their sympathy for affected families. The listeria bacteria pose significant risks, particularly for vulnerable populations including the elderly and those with weakened immune systems.
