Twin Sisters Creamery, LLC is recalling approximately 5,150 units of various raw milk cheeses, including Whatcom Blue, Farmhouse, Peppercorn, and Mustard Seed varieties. The recall was initiated after testing identified the presence of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (strains O103:H2, O74:H25, and O26:H11) in the products. These cheeses were sold in round wheels weighing between 2.5 and 3 pounds and were distributed in Oregon and Washington. Consumers should return these products to the place of purchase for a full refund or throw them away.
The cheeses are contaminated with various strains of E. coli, which can cause severe stomach cramps, diarrhea (often bloody), and vomiting. While most people recover within a week, some may develop a type of kidney failure called hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), which is a medical emergency.
