Raw Cheese Linked to Multistate E. Coli Outbreak, 13 Sick and 8 Hospitalized

A multistate E. coli O26:H11 outbreak has sickened 13 people and hospitalized eight across nine states, with three developing hemolytic uremic syndrome. Federal health officials are warning consumers to avoid several Sierra Nevada Graziers raw milk cheeses, prompting a voluntary recall by the Sierra Nevada Cheese Company, LLC. The FDA initiated an investigation on September 24, advising consumers not to consume, sell, or serve the recalled products.
