The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said they are investigating a multistate outbreak of E. coli infections potentially linked to Sierra Nevada Graziers raw milk cheese.

Thirteen people in nine states have been sickened in the E. coli outbreak, including eight who were hospitalized and three who developed hemolytic uremic syndrome, a potentially serious complication of E. coli infection that presents with bloody diarrhea and fever, according to the CDC. No deaths have been reported, the FDA said.

States with E. coli cases linked to raw milk cheese include California, Colorado, Georgia, Kentucky, Michigan, Nevada, Oregon, Tennessee and Utah.

    You mean a bacteria found in the feces of nearly half the population of dairy cattle contaminated REAL milk? Like, I mean the udders are several inches off the ground and cows notoriously never lay down, so where could this come from?

    Must be big Pasteurizer sabotaging the pure REAL milk products and keeping the sheeple from consuming the REAL milk products the lord has given us. They want us weak and feeble and only untouched milk straight from the udder can grace my temple of a body. No Satan, not today! You will not take my REAL milk from me!

    Oh hey, I seemed to have dropped something ヽ(´ー`) /s

      they poop where they eat, i think thier UDDERS get dirty from thier own feces though, even ifs not directly touching, the "juices’ could trickle to the udders.

        OK so you have never seen a cow poo before.

        The “material” comes out in a high pressure jet. It is a kinda thick paste, it will splash because cows are quite tall.

        The splash from their own stream may contaminate the udders, but they will often get splashed or just shat on from another cow.

          They’re also not very choosy about where they step, so they’ll just kick poo around all day for a nice even coating.
