US EditionRaw Dairy Farm Recalls some Cheese Products as FDA Investigates E. Coli Outbreak
The recall covers more than a half-dozen cheddar varieties as investigators link nine illnesses to Raw Farm products, including seven in California.
- On Thursday, Fresno-based Raw Farm voluntarily recalled raw milk cheddar cheese products after the United States Food and Drug Administration requested the action due to potential E. coli O157:H7 contamination.
- Health officials are investigating an E. coli outbreak that has sickened nine people across three states, with genetic sequencing showing all patients share a common infection source; seven cases are in California.
- Raw Farm owner McAfee claims internal testing shows no contamination, conducting the recall "under protest," yet the company has been associated with at least 239 food poisoning cases since 2006.
- The Hawaii Department of Health Food and Drug Branch alerted residents to the recall, with products distributed to specialty retailers including Down to Earth and Hanalei Market.
- Experts warn that significant staff reductions at the FDA, including about 4,500 personnel, have hindered agency investigations, even as interest in raw milk grows under Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
