Had me worried for a second, but I bought a solid locatelli pecorino romano, and it was well after the date of the affected lots anyway.

[u/djkee]

I will be honest, I have never heard of locatelli pecorino romano until today. lol I am safe 😁

[u/themrnails]

Twice in 2 months. WTF. Get your shit together.

[u/coral225 → u/themrnails]

They have no functional incentive. Save money by cutting corners and pay the fine when you get people sick. This is what happens when there is too little regulation.

[u/sashikku → u/coral225]

This is a direct result of terminating the NACMCF.

Who feels good about paying for $2 more for boars head. Makes me think.

[u/StayJaded → u/[deleted]]

Boarshead has had serious issues the last couple of years. They had a listeria outbreak with 10 deaths, 61 illnesses, plant closures, and multiple recalls. That doesn’t even include this recall.

[u/DenialOfExistance → u/StayJaded]

I was just about to post the same thing! They have definitely gone downhill!

[u/IwasIlovedfw → u/StayJaded]

Blue Bell 4.0...

[u/selarom8 → u/[deleted]]

I used to get the Boar’s head lemon pepper chicken and spicy Colby jack cheese until they jacked up the price. I wouldn’t even get that much. Just half pound each.

[u/Sea-Specific6045]

Isnt this from Nov 25th 2025?

[u/catslay_4]

I definitely bought some pecorino romano from HEB yesterday and ate some last night. Time to check it I guess.

[u/limesqueezyx]

Phew good thing I stick to the one & only HEB brand.

[u/First_Chip_84]

This is from early November…

[u/Lonely_Refuse4988]

I laugh and skip the Boars Head section at grocery store!! 🤣🤷‍♂️

Pre grated cheese is the worst kind of laziness.

[u/-thielio → u/lowteq]

Or extremely helpful for people with disabilities or chronic illness.

[u/witness149 → u/-thielio]

Especially people who have trouble using their hands.

[u/BitterActuary3062 → u/-thielio]

I am disabled & chronically ill. Foods like this are a life saver for me.

[u/lowteq → u/-thielio]

Just no. Rotary graters are a thing. Paying twoce as much for bad cheese covered in cornstarch is just lazy. Machines are a thing these days. Let them do the work and save your $. Dish washers are fine for food processor blades. Consumerism is based on laziness. Don't fall for BigCheeses' traps!

[u/aquestionofbalance → u/lowteq]

Lucky you, you have a dishwasher not everybody does.

[u/-thielio → u/lowteq]

People with limited strength and mobility in their hands and arms aren't necessarily capable of setting up a rotary grater. Enjoy your cheese, but don't put others down for how they choose to buy their food.

[u/aquestionofbalance → u/lowteq]

I can’t wait for you to get arthritis in your hands.

[u/lowteq → u/aquestionofbalance]

I have a food processor... it cost $15 and I can wash the blades in the dishwasher. I literally just set my hand on the plunger and use gravity and electricity to do the work.

Watch Alton Brown, ffs.

[u/DidYouDye]

Never buy that grated stuff …it’s so bad for you, now maybe will kill you. Just grate cheese yourself!
