ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – A Bernalillo County resident is among nine people who’ve died as a result of the largest nationwide listeria outbreak tied to deli meat in over a decade.
Now, some of New Mexico’s small, local delis are doing what they can to reassure customers their businesses are safe.
“This has, I mean, it has been a shock for us. We’ve never had any problems when it comes to recalled products for any of our distributors.”

Sarah Camuglia has been working at Tully’s Italian Deli and Meats on San Mateo. Like dozens of other delis across New Mexico, Tully’s is now dealing with the fallout of a nationwide listeria outbreak.
The longtime local business had to remove a list of recalled products made by the national, well-known “Boar’s Head” brand.
“We were notified within this 24 hours of this recall our main distributor contacted us. We had pulled everything that were items that had been affected. We now have substitutes for those items that have been infected. They were really on top of things here in Albuquerque,” said Camuglia.
