Episode Details

Nine individuals, including young children, have fallen ill due to an E. coli outbreak traced back to raw milk and cheddar cheese from Raw Farm in Fresno, California. The outbreak has resulted in seven cases in California, two in Texas, and one in Florida. Over half the victims are children under five, with three hospitalized and one developing a severe kidney infection. Raw milk sales have risen due to social media and health trends, but it lacks pasteurization, which can kill harmful germs like E. coli. Illnesses date back to September 2022 through February 2023, with most sick individuals confirming they consumed Raw Farm products. Genetic tests indicate a shared source, and the FDA has urged a recall of the raw cheddar cheese, but Raw Farm has declined. Lawmakers are now advocating for a forced recall. Officials have inspected a Raw Farm site, and the CDC advises against consuming the cheese during the investigation. The exact contamination source is still under investigation.
