Product and hazard details

• Product (publisher wording): Raw Milk Cheese
• Hazard type: E. coli

Only identifiers present in the ingested publisher record are reproduced here. Open the primary source before acting because an agency may list additional package sizes, UPCs, use-by dates, photographs, or distribution details in attachments that are not represented in a machine-readable feed.

Geography and distribution

Publisher geography for this signal is recorded as United States (multi-state / national distribution) (US). Distribution scope is modeled as national. Recalling-firm addresses are not the same as where product was sold. When the notice lists multiple states or "nationwide," treat local map pins as awareness markers, not proof that every store in a town received the lot. The feed identified these jurisdictions: US.

Who may be affected

The relevant audience is anyone who possesses a product matching the publisher's brand, package, date, lot, or UPC identifiers. Risk varies by the specific hazard and individual health circumstances. Do not assume a product is affected merely because its name is similar; compare the exact identifiers in the primary notice.

What to do next

1. Open the primary U.S. FDA notice linked below and compare brand, lot, and dates.
2. Follow only the consumer action stated on that official notice. This brief does not invent discard, return, or "do not eat" instructions.
3. If the source describes illness risk and you develop compatible symptoms after exposure, contact a clinician and mention the product and date.
4. Related hubs: food recall alerts and foodborne outbreak alerts.

How OutbreakThreat handles food safety notices

We ingest machine-readable official records, preserve the publisher URL and external identifier, classify event and hazard types, and run source/content checks before publication. Automated briefs may be updated when the upstream record changes. We do not invent case counts, lot codes, affected states, or closure status. See our editorial policy, sources methodology, and corrections pages.
