"Raw Farm was linked to a multistate outbreak of E. coli in raw Cheddar cheese earlier this year, and in 2023, recalls of raw Cheddar cheese for salmonella and raw milk for campylobacter. Under a previous name, Organic Pastures Dairy Company, the farm was implicated in E. coli outbreaks that occurred in 2016, 2011 and 2006, as well as multiple recalls when salmonella, campylobacter and listeria had been found in their products."

“Pathogens are entirely natural,” [CEO of Raw Farm] said, adding that “our consumers are seeking to rebuild that relationship with the farm and the bugs that naturally live there.” He also said that the company’s products are labeled with warnings that they may contain disease-causing microbes, as required by state law.

I mean, if people want to mend fences with E.coli, who are we to stop them?

Legally, we should. It clogs up the medical system and FDA with preventable illnesses. Salmonella might permanently weaken your immune system and cause bad lasting effects.

I got virally induced IBS after I got peaches contaminated with Salmonella in summer of 2020. It was the sickest I've ever been, and my body was never quite the same after that. It doesn't really feel like an illness, more like you ingested rat poison, and your body is desperately trying to get it out of you as quickly as possible for 2-3 weeks, with aftershocks of feeling unwell for many more months.
