At least seven people in three states, including young children, have been diagnosed with E. coli food poisoning linked to cheddar cheese made from raw milk. California-based Raw Farm made the cheese, which is the "likely source" of the outbreak. The FDA has recommended that Raw Farm voluntarily remove its raw cheese products from sale, but the company has declined. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has urged consumers to not eat the products. The outbreak occurred between September 2025 and mid-February, with over half of the illnesses being children aged 3 or younger.
