E. coli Outbreak Linked to Raw Farm Cheddar Cheeses

0:00Here's more Birmingham news for March 18th. Federal health officials are probing an E. coli outbreak tied to raw farm brand, raw cheddar cheeses sold across the country. The FDA and CDC have linked it to seven infections in three states, with cases popping up from September 1st, 2025, through February 13th, 2026. Five illnesses hit California, one in Florida, and one in Texas. Among those sick and four were kids under three years old, and two ended up in the hospital. No deaths or serious kidney complications have been reported so far. Public health teams interviewed three patients, and all said they ate the raw farm cheddar blocks or shreds before getting sick. Officials are still checking the other cases to confirm the connection. The company turned down a voluntary recall request from the FDA, and insists their products are not the cause. Investigators are working with states to pinpoint the contamination source and rule out other foods. If you have this cheese, toss it out, clean any surfaces or tools it touched with hot soapy water, and skip eating it.
