An outbreak of E. coli bacteria has been confirmed in several states by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), with the source of the outbreak identified to be cheese products.
“As of February 16, 2024, a total of 10 confirmed infections have been reported from four states,” the FDA said on Friday. This includes four cases in California, three in Colorado, two in Utah, and one in Texas. The multistate outbreak is linked to “Raw Cheddar” cheese made by RAW FARM, LLC, of Fresno, CA. All block sizes and shredded packages of the cheese’s “original flavor” and “cheddar with added jalapeno flavor” are associated with the outbreak. The FDA asked people not to eat, sell, or serve these products.
