Amid E. coli outbreak, California-based Raw Farm owner pushes back against a weakened FDA
""There's no pathogenic bacteria correlating us to anybody. What they did was a backdoor move. They said, 'we'll just let everybody know we're concerned,' and that is enough to have stores kick you out.""
""The FDA has yet to confirm that E. coli has been found in any Raw Farm products. The agency has not issued a formal recall, though it has sent out a warning letter telling customers to avoid Raw Farm products purchased on or after Jan. 4, particularly raw milk cheddar cheese.""
An E. coli outbreak has affected nine individuals, primarily in California, linked to Raw Farm's unpasteurized cheese. The FDA has requested a voluntary market withdrawal of these products while investigating. Despite the warnings, Raw Farm's owner, Mark McAfee, asserts that no E. coli has been found in his products and that he conducts thorough testing. He claims the FDA's actions have led to unwarranted market exclusion without confirmed evidence of contamination. The outbreak has resulted in hospitalizations, with a significant number of affected individuals being children.
