Outbreak Investigation of E. coli O157:H7: Raw Cheddar Cheese
www.fda.gov
RAW FARM-brand Raw Cheddar Cheese linked to ongoing outbreak. FDA’s investigation is ongoing.

FDA has recommended that RAW FARM, LLC voluntarily remove their raw cheese products from the market, and the firm has declined.

Bluesky thread

The FDA has asked Raw Farm to recall the cheddar cheese linked to the outbreak and “it has declined.” But E.coli 0157 H7 is a very pathogenic bacteria. So buyer be aware and beware here. 1/3

        There are already processes in place for recalls, this only provides a method for more precise recalls to reduce food waste, but if that reduction to waste doesn’t surpass the increase to labor then what are we really paying for?

        There are so many more issues with food waste in our distribution systems. As someone who has spent my entire career in the industry this is a huge task that isn’t addressing a real problem.
