At least 10 people across four states — California, Colorado, Texas and Utah — have been made ill from an E. coli outbreak linked to raw cheddar cheese from the brand Raw Farm, according to health officials.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Friday that at least four people have been hospitalized and one person has developed hemolytic uremic syndrome, which can cause kidney failure.
“The true number of sick people in this outbreak is likely much higher than the number reported, and the outbreak may not be limited to the states with known illnesses,” the CDC said.
Raw Farm, based in Fresno, Calif., agreed to initiate a recall on a number of its cheddar cheese products, according to the Food and Drug Administration.
Yeah, that’s terrible, I don’t konw how that’s cheaper than just hiring a roofer to install a shim and caulk around the air conditioner.
I don’t doubt that kind of thing isn’t happening all over the place too.
I get the feeling a lot of governments are cutting budgets for food inspection and doing it less often. My local government for example just stopped sending inspectors to look at retirement homes, and then cases of abuse and mistreatment went through the roof and the army had to be called in. I don’t even know how many other industries that’s happening in.
