00:04Family Farmstead Dairy of Worcester, New York, is recalling its 8-ounce raw mild cheddar cheese.
00:09The reason, a sample tested in Maryland, found two strains of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli,
00:15called 0157H7, in two packages.
00:19The cheese was sold at grocery stores in New York and New Jersey.
00:22The package is clear plastic with green, red, and white labeling.
00:25And the lot code and best by date are both 7-22-27.
00:30No other products are included.
00:32The company says no illnesses have been reported so far.
00:35E. coli, 0157H7 can cause a diarrheal illness, often with bloody stools.
00:42Most healthy adults recover within a week.
00:44But some people develop hemolytic uremic syndrome,
00:47which can cause serious kidney damage or death, mostly in young children and older adults.
