After Initial Refusal, Raw Farm Recalls Raw Cheddar Cheese

The recall covers seven products after investigators linked nine illnesses in three states to the company’s raw cheddar cheese, including three hospitalizations.

  • On Thursday, federal health officials announced that Fresno, California-based RAW FARM initiated a voluntary recall of select shredded and block cheddar cheese products following a multistate E. coli outbreak.
  • RAW FARM President Aaron McAfee said the company is recalling the cheese 'under protest,' disputing FDA findings that link their products to illnesses reported by patients.
  • Nine people in California, Texas, and Florida have contracted E. coli O157:H7, with three hospitalizations and one case of hemolytic uremic syndrome reported, affecting many children under age 5.
  • The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention urged consumers to 'consider not eating' the cheese, while advising individuals with symptoms like bloody diarrhea to seek immediate medical care.
  • This recall follows Raw Farm's 2024 refusal to comply with a similar CDC recommendation, reflecting recurring tensions between the company and federal regulators over unpasteurized dairy safety.
