A former sanitation manager at Boar’s Head’s listeria-ridden Virginia plant claims he was fired last year after he raised red flags over lax health and safety standards at the now-shuttered facility.
Terrence Boyce — who has nearly two decades of experience as a supervisor at food plants — was hired in 2023 for a newly created position at the Jarratt, Va., plant amid a food safety audit by federal regulators, Boyce told The Post.
“The government found a bunch of deficiencies or deviations and I guess I was brought in as a preventive and a corrective measure,” Boyce said.
But when the sanitation veteran began to speak up and recommend certain changes, he lost his job, he claims.
“I wrote that ‘management was not committed to safety’ and two or three days later, the plant manager tells me I need to change my investigation,” Boyce alleged. “I said, ‘no.’”
