Boar’s Head Recall and Listeria Outbreak
The tragic incident is part of a larger listeria outbreak that has claimed multiple lives across the country. Last month, Boar’s Head issued a massive recall of 7 million pounds of deli meats after a liverwurst sample tested positive for listeria, a dangerous bacteria that can cause severe illness and death. The recall affected over 70 products, including liverwurst, ham, beef salami, and bologna, all manufactured at the company’s plant in Virginia. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has been closely monitoring the outbreak. Earlier this month, the CDC confirmed that three people had died as a result of the listeria contamination linked to Boar’s Head Deli meats. On Tuesday, it was revealed that the third victim was 88-year-old Gunter Garshon Morgenstein, a resident of Virginia after his family spoke to local news outlet WVEC.
Holocaust Survivor’s Life Ends in Tragedy
Gunter Garshon Morgenstein’s life was marked by resilience and survival. Born in Germany, he was a Holocaust survivor who had lived through unimaginable hardships. His son, Garshon Morgenstein, shared with WVEC that his father had a deep connection to his European roots, which was reflected in his love for certain foods, particularly lunch meats like liverwurst.
“He always ate lunch meat, always Boar’s Head,” Garshon Morgenstein said, recounting his father’s long-standing preference for the brand. Despite not sharing his father’s taste for liverwurst, Garshon emphasized how much his father enjoyed the product, a staple in his diet due to his European upbringing. […]

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
