• Twenty-Five Years of Raw Milk Cheese Outbreaks in the United States, in CDC's and FDA's Own Records: E. coli, Listeria, Salmonella and Campylobacter, 2000 to 2026 (foodpoisonjournal.com) — A detailed review of 25 years of CDC and FDA records shows repeated nationwide outbreaks linked to raw milk cheeses, including a deadly 2016–2017 Listeria outbreak traced to Vulto Creamery's soft cheeses made in Walton. The author argues that current 60-day aging rules don't reliably protect consumers, and urges the FDA to add warning labels and revisit its raw milk cheese regulations.
