New Jersey E. Coli Outbreak Linked To Raw Cheese Product, CDC Says A case of E. coli in New Jersey has been linked to a recalled cheese product. Eleven people were sickened by Raw Farm's Raw Cheddar cheese products, both original and jalapeno-flavored, the CDC said.

Five people were hospitalized. The product was recalled by Raw Farm on Feb. 16, but on Feb. 26, the company withdrew the voluntary recall.
