What happened

Raw Farm LLC has initiated an ongoing Class I recall of its 'Raw Cheddar Simply Shredded Original' (8 oz) due to a multi-state outbreak of E. coli O157:H7.

Who it affects

Raw Farm LLC, distributors and retailers of raw dairy products, and food safety/quality assurance departments overseeing unpasteurized product lines.

Why it matters

A Class I designation signifies the highest level of risk, where use of the product could cause serious adverse health consequences or death. Given the involvement of a multi-state outbreak, this suggests significant contamination vulnerabilities in raw milk processing or handling procedures that may require extensive root-cause analysis and investigation by the firm.

Practical takeaway

Immediately identify and isolate specified 8 oz shredded cheddar units; verify cleaning and sanitation protocols for shared equipment; review environmental monitoring and pathogen testing data for Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC).
