These payouts represent refunds for purchasing recalled Boar's Head deli meats that were part of the Listeria contamination recall.

The settlement covers consumers who bought certain ready-to-eat Boar's Head cold cuts during the recall period. Claims were reviewed throughout 2025, and the administrator has now begun mailing physical checks to those who filed valid submissions before the deadline.

If you filed a claim for the Boar's Head recall in 2025, this is the phase when payments are being released. The checks state that they are valid for 120 days, so recipients should deposit or cash them promptly.
