FDA links E. coli outbreak affecting 7 people to Raw Farm raw milk cheddar cheese

The FDA reported that 7 people across California, Florida, and Texas were sickened by E. coli between September 2025 and mid-February, with the agency identifying Raw Farm's raw milk cheddar cheese as the likely source. Raw Farm declined the FDA's recommendation to voluntarily recall products, with owner Mark McAfee disputing the findings and stating no pathogens were found in their products. More than half of the cases involved children aged 3 or younger, and two people were hospitalized.
