Missouri public health officials announced in early April, 2012 that raw milk was the source of an E. coli outbreak among central and western Missouri residents. E. coli cases have been reported in Boone, Cooper, Camden, Howard and Jackson counties.
And across the country, The Oregon Public Health Division, Department of Agriculture and several local health departments are investigating an outbreak of Escherichia coli O157:H7 infections that have left three Portland-area children hospitalized, two with kidney failure. A fourth child has lab-confirmed E.coli but has not been hospitalized. All of the children consumed raw unpasteurized milk obtained from Foundation Farm in Clackamas County. The farm has voluntarily ceased its milk distribution.
