A nationwide recall of raw milk cheeses has been issued after eight people were hospitalized due to an E. coli outbreak. The Sierra Nevada Cheese Company has recalled all of its Grazier Raw Milk Cheese products following an investigation by the FDA and CDC. The affected cheeses include various varieties and sizes, such as the Monterey Jack, Jalapeño Jack, Medium Cheddar, Sharp Cheddar, and a 40 lb block.
The recall covers all lot numbers, dates, and production dates, and the company is unsure which specific batches are contaminated. The Grazier Raw Milk Cheese products have been sold at retailers across the United States and online. Consumers are advised not to consume any of the recalled cheese and should instead discard it or return it to the store for a refund.
Symptoms of E. coli O26:H11 infection, a strain of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli, may include diarrhea within a few days of consumption. While most people recover within a week, vulnerable populations, such as children under five, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals, may face more severe consequences, including Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS), a potentially fatal condition.
