Key points
CDC, FDA, and public health officials in several states are investigating a multistate outbreak of E. coli infections linked to Graziers raw milk cheeses sold by Sierra Nevada Cheese Company. Over half of the sick people in this outbreak are children 5 years old and younger. These products have a long shelf life. Check your homes for any of the recalled cheese. If you have any, throw them out or return them.
When people got sick
This chart shows when the 13 people in this E. coli outbreak got sick.
Recent illnesses may not yet be reported as it usually takes 3 to 4 weeks to determine if a sick person is part of an outbreak.
The true number of sick people in this outbreak is also likely much higher than the number reported. This is because many people recover without medical care and are not tested for E. coli.
