Raw dairy farm recalls some cheese products as FDA investigates E. coli outbreak
WASHINGTON (AP) – A California producer of raw milk and cheese products is recalling some of its products under pressure from federal officials. Raw Farm said Thursday it is voluntarily recalling more than a half-dozen varieties of its cheddar cheese made from raw milk. Previously the company had refused repeated requests from the Food and Drug Administration to issue a recall. The FDA is conducting an inspection of the company’s facilities after identifying multiple cases of E. coli food poisoning tied to the firm’s products. Raw Farm said in a statement that FDA has not detected the bacteria in its products. The company said it issued the recall “under protest.”
