A New Mexican is now among those killed by the Boar’s Head listeria outbreak, according to the CDC.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – A New Mexican is now among those killed by the Boar’s Head listeria outbreak, according to the CDC.
In the last 10 minutes, KOB 4 learned it was an elderly Bernalillo County woman. This comes after the CDC updated the number of victims to eight due to a listeria outbreak in Boar’s Head deli meats.
At least 57 people have gotten sick and had to be hospitalized.
The CDC says people 65 and older, pregnant women, and people with weakened immune systems are at higher risk of getting sick with listeria.
Boar’s Head has recalled more than seven million pounds of deli meat. Many of the recalled products are meant to be sliced at grocery store deli counters, some pre-packaged meats are also in the recall.

What bills have been filed for New Mexico’s 2026 legislative session?
The governor sets the agenda for the session, including for the budget, so here is what they are looking at so far.
SANTA FE, N.M. — As the regular session of the New Mexico Legislature is set to begin Jan. 20, lawmakers have already filed dozens of bills.
Bills include prohibiting book bans at public libraries and protections against AI, specifically the distribution of sensitive and “Deepfake” images
Juvenile justice reform is, again, a hot topic. House Bill 25 would allow access to someone’s juvenile records during a background check if they’re trying to buy a gun.
Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham sets the agenda and puts forth the proposed budget lawmakers will address during the session. The governor is calling for lawmakers to take up an $11.3 billion budget for the 2027 fiscal year, which is up 4.6% from current spending levels.
Where would that money go? More than $600 million would go to universal free child care. Meanwhile, more than $200 million would go to health care and to protect against federal funding cuts.
There is also $65 million for statewide affordable housing initiatives and $19 million for public safety.
