FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — The California Department of Public Health is advising consumers and businesses not to eat, serve, or sell raw cheddar cheese manufactured and distributed by Fresno-based company ‘RAW FARM.’
The products involved are “RAW FARM” block and shredded varieties from the facility located on Jameson Avenue.
The Food and Drug Administration says at least seven people total have gotten sick in Texas, California, and Florida. More than half of the illnesses are in children.
The FDA has suggested that the farm remove its raw cheese products from the market. The CDC is suggesting people consider not eating the cheese.
However, the company has declined, while also refusing to comply with a mandatory recall.
More information on the outbreak can be found on the FDA’s and CDC’s websites.
