That's not good. I'm guessing there will be an investigation and possible litigation. The business might be at major financial risk.

There was a case in Australia a few years back which was linked to a well-known and reputable brand of deli meats. I tried an internet search but the current listeria outbreak in the US is overshadowing the historical case in Oz. I can't remember whether it was listeria or salmonella or something else. From memory the brand name was Don, and I believe they managed to get themselves back on track and have had no further incidents as far as I know. I recall the company behaved very responsibly and took all necessary precautions.
