Minnesota salmonella outbreak linked to raw milk cheese

Just as the trial of a Wisconsin farmer has brought the raw milk issue to the forefront comes news at least 25 people in the Twin Cities were made ill by consuming a raw milk cheese. A salmonella outbreak was first reported in April and the Minnesota Department of Health says the cause was a Mexican-style cheese known as queso fresco, a raw milk cheese which was made by an individual in a private home. The product was reportedly delivered to customers’ homes.

On Monday, the department said that all the known cases occurred from March 28 to April 24, all have recovered and that the outbreak may be over. But it issued a warning that anyone who bought or received the product should throw it away.
