Illegal Cheese Leads to Campylobacter Illnesses

Health officials from Rockford, Illinois, are investigating three confirmed cases of Campylobacter jejuni in people who ate illegally manufactured cheese purchased from parking lot vendors.

J. Maichle Bacon, Winnebago County Health Department administrator, said four more cases of illness are being studied in connection with the outbreak. The Illinois Department of Public Health Library also found Listeria and fecal coliform in samples of the cheese -- which was white and sold in rounds that were packaged in unmarked food storage bags.

Bacon told the Rockford Register Star newspaper that authorities are still searching for the sellers.

National food safety law firm PritzkerOlsen, P.A., currently is representing other victims of Campylobacter jejuni, a bacteria that causes diarrhea, fever and cramping. Most healthy people sickened by Campylobacter do not require treatment, but infections can turn serious, even deadly, in young children, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems.
