E. coli Outbreak from Raw Dairy Escalates as Manufacturer Defies Recall

An E. coli outbreak linked to unpasteurized dairy from California-based Raw Farm has sickened nine people across three states, with one developing hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), a life-threatening kidney complication. The outbreak predominantly affects young children under five, who are particularly vulnerable to the Shiga toxin-producing E. coli strain, raising urgent food safety concerns as the manufacturer refuses to issue a recall despite mounting FDA evidence.
