88-year-old victim in Boar's Head deli meat outbreak underscores risks for those most vulnerable

A lifelong lover of liverwurst, Sue Fleming relished the smoked sausage her husband brought home every few weeks from the grocery store deli.

Patrick Fleming always made sure to buy Boar’s Head braunschweiger, the type she liked best, even though it could be costlier than other brands.

“My whole family loves braunschweiger," Sue Fleming said. "On bread with lettuce, a little mayo, a slice of pickle.”

But the 88-year-old from High Ridge, Missouri, is rethinking her favorite snack after she fell ill as part of a deadly listeria food poisoning outbreak linked to a nationwide recall of 7 million pounds of Boar’s Head deli meats.
