Family Farmstead Dairy of Worcester, NY, is recalling some of its raw milk cheddar cheese because it may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7 bacteria.
The product was distributed to grocers in NY and NJ. The cheese is packaged in clear plastic with green, red, and white labeling on the front and back.
The affected product can be identified by the following label information:
- Product: Family Farmstead Dairy Raw Mild Cheddar Cheese
- Lot Code: 7/22/27
- Best By Date: 7/22/27
No illnesses have been reported to date.
The issue was discovered when a LFFM sample in Maryland isolated two strains of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli in two samples of Family Farmstead A2 Raw Cheddar, 8-ounce packages.
