Man Sues Over Bad Head Cheese

It's not what you think -- it's worse!

A 75-year-old Florida man says he was in intensive care for more than a month after eating jellied pork that had been recalled.
The Advocate reports that Gerard Gremillion sued Veron Foods on Tuesday in state District Court in Baton Rouge.
Attorney Greg Rozas says Gremillion was hospitalized with listeriosis on May 20, two days after eating some head cheese his son had bought a few days earlier.
Veron Foods recalled a half-million pounds of sausage and head cheese Aug. 14; Agriculture Commissioner Mike Strain said a sample had tested positive for bacteria that can cause the potentially fatal disease.
Veron Foods general manager Neal Sheets declined comment on the lawsuit Thursday. He said Veron passed a state inspection and resumed production this week.

Wait, is there good head cheese? BTW: Head cheese is a jellied loaf of meat, typically made from the edible parts of a pig’s head, feet, tongue and heart. It is generally eaten cold as a spread. It's utterly disgusting!
