This has got to be the worst thing since UN-sliced bread! As if we haven't had enough cheese recalls, here's another one to add to the bunch. This time, people have been ill in four states, including some being hospitalized.

Beginning mid-January, we got word from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) about a massive Cotija Cheese recall and it's expanded reach due to possible Listeria Monocytogenes contamination.Now another recall dealing with most everyone's favorite food, NOT RELATED to the previous recall.

There has been an outbreak of E. coli infections in 4 states linked to contaminated Raw Cheddar Cheese produced by Raw Farm LLC. As of February 16,^,2024, there have been a total of 10 confirmed infections. The cheese has been sold nationwide, but the infected cases have been in California, Colorado, Texas, and Utah.
