FDA has recommended that RAW FARM, LLC voluntarily remove their raw cheese products from the market, and the firm has declined.

Bluesky thread

The FDA has asked Raw Farm to recall the cheddar cheese linked to the outbreak and "it has declined." But E.coli 0157 H7 is a very pathogenic bacteria. So buyer be aware and beware here. 1/3

Half of Raw Farm's Wiki page is the "Health and legal incidents" section.

Depends on the vegetable or fruit. A lot of the stuff at a supermarket has been washed to some extent at which point only other shoppers are smearing poop on the veggies. I know cantaloupe is a common source of E. coli outbreaks because of the skin texture or something.

There are special sanitizing solutions that you can get to wash veggies. It was standard practice in Peru but not as much in the US
