Boar’s Head Brand and the family of a Holocaust survivor who died from a listeria infection after eating the company’s canned deli food have settled a wrongful death lawsuit filed in Sarasota County.

The plaintiff’s counsel, Ron Simon & Associates, announced on Dec. 13 that the lawsuit filed in Florida’s 12th Judicial Circuit Court by the family of Gunter Morgenstein in September had been settled. The terms of the settlement, however, are confidential, according to a statement emailed to the Florida Record.

Morgenstein, a Virginia resident, died on July 18 after consuming Boar’s Head liverwurst, according to the lawsuit filed by Ron Simon & Associates. After being rushed to a hospital, Morgenstein developed a fever, an accelerated heart rate, plummeting red blood counts and sepsis, according to the lawsuit.
