Outbreak linked to raw cheese grows; 9 cases total, one with kidney failure
Summary
Ars Technica reports an ongoing E. coli outbreak linked to unpasteurized cheese and milk, with nine illnesses across three states and one case of Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome leading to kidney failure. The FDA notes Raw Farm, the product maker, denies the link and has not issued a recall; genome sequencing suggests a common source and highlights the vulnerability of young children to STEC.
