Cheddar cheese from California-based Raw Farm identified as ‘likely source’ of infections across multiple states

Cheese from the country’s largest raw milk distributor have been linked to a multistate E coli outbreak.

Raw cheddar cheese from the California-based company Raw Farm has been identified as the “likely source” of several E coli O157:H7 infections in California, Florida and Texas, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), PBS News reported, though no Raw Farm products have tested positive for E coli.

The bacteria strain can cause diarrhea, abdominal cramps and acute kidney failure in rare cases, leading to hospitalization and possibly death.

So far, 7 people have fallen ill between September 2025 and February. The majority of illnesses were in children aged three and younger.

Wait, they sell raw milk in a store and people buy it?

I could see buying it from a person with a teat in their hand, but I'm not sure I could be persuaded to try prepackaged raw milk.

I have worked in a dairy farm, and I would definitely not buy it from someone with a teat in their hand. I've seen how those cows live. Boil it, pasteurize it, irradiate it, whatever but just DO NOT drink raw milk. It's not worth it.

Haha, point taken. I hadn't even gotten to that part of the horrible image. I was still stuck on how long that milk would out of temperature.

I almost completely forgot cow milk is basically dipped in cow exhaust.

I would buy anything from someone confronting me with a severed teat. There's no telling what that maniac would do if I don't buy.
