Just in time for the Super Bowl, the FDA is questioning the "60 day rule" on raw milk cheese safety

By Bill Marler, Esq.

After the recent E. coli O157:H7 outbreak linked to Bravo raw milk gouda cheese that sickened 38 (one with HUS), the New York Times is quickly becoming the go to newspaper for cheese lovers.

Bill Neuman wrote yet another article on cheese – 'Raw Milk Cheesemakers Fret Over Possible New Rules' – in follow-up to my five part series on raw milk and the "60 day rule" - Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4 and Part 5, and the continuing Outbreaks, illnesses and recalls linked to raw (unpasteurized) and pasteurized dairy products in the United States.

Mr. Neuman last year also penned – 'As Cheesemaking Blooms, So Can Listeria' and 'Small Cheesemaker Defies F.D.A. Over Recall' – following a Listeria recall linked to Estrella Family Creamery and an E. coli O157:H7 outbreak linked to Sally Jackson Cheese - both producers from the State of Washington.

Go Packers!  But, think about the cheese on the party plate.
