E. coli outbreak raw milk cheese recall Sierra Nevada Cheese Company Graziers cheese food poisoning

Sierra Nevada Cheese Company has issued a voluntary nationwide recall of all Graziers brand grass-fed raw milk cheese products due to a potential E. coli O26:H11 contamination. The recall includes Monterey Jack, Jalapeño Jack, medium cheddar, and sharp cheddar varieties.

As of late September 2026, the outbreak has been linked to 13 illnesses across nine states: California, Colorado, Georgia, Kentucky, Michigan, Nevada, Oregon, Tennessee, and Utah. Eight of the affected individuals required hospitalization, and three developed hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), a serious kidney complication. More than half of the reported cases involve children aged five or younger.

Health officials from the FDA and CDC are investigating the source of the contamination. While the New Mexico Department of Health has issued warnings to residents, they have reported no confirmed cases within the state as of the latest update.
