The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) announced a statewide recall and quarantine order involving Organic Pastures Dairy of Fresno County, CA. Raw milk, raw skim milk (non-fat), raw cream and raw butter produced by Organic Pastures are the subject of the recall.
The quarantine order came following reports of 10 cases of campylobacteriosis (food poisoning from Campylobacter bacteria) and the confirmed detection of Campylobacter bacteria in Organic Pastures raw cream. Onset of illness was from January through April of 2012.
All of the people sickened, most of them children, consumed Organic Pastures raw milk before they got sick, and Campylobacter bacteria were found in Organic Pastures raw cream. This epidemiological and microbiological evidence indicates that Organic Pastures raw milk is the source of the Campylobacter illnesses.
