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.
My extremely propagandized grandparents, who literally spoke the words, “thank God, our president, and RFK,” in a conversation with me called the people who drink raw milk idiots because they both grew up on farms and know that shit’s nasty.
