Costco - Bravo Farms Cheese Recall

November 26, 2010 UPDATE:

  • Bravo Farms has expanded its recall to include all of its cheeses. This action follows laboratory testing by the California Department of Food and Agriculture that reveals the presence of Listeria monocytogenes and E. coli O157:H7 in cheese samples.
  • Thirty-eight persons infected with the outbreak strain of E. coli O157:H7 have been reported from five states since mid-October. The number of ill persons identified in each state with this strain is as follows: AZ (19), CA (3), CO (11), NM (3) and NV (2). There have been 15 reported hospitalizations, 1 case of hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), and no deaths. To date, no illnesses associated with L. monocytogenes in Bravo Farm cheese have been reported.

November 11, 2010 UPDATE:

  • The CDC has reported that this outbreak of human infections is due to a rare strain of E. coli O157:H7 that has never been seen before in the PulseNet database. PulseNet is the national subtyping network that performs molecular surveillance of foodborne infections.
  • CONFIRMED CASES: Thirty-three persons infected with the outbreak strain of E. coli O157:H7 have been reported from five states.
  • Laboratory testing conducted on two opened packages of Bravo Farms Dutch Style Gouda Cheese, purchased at Costco, taken from the homes of case patients, has identified E. coli O157:H7 matching the outbreak strain.
  • Preliminary laboratory testing conducted on a new, sealed package of Bravo Farms Dutch Style Gouda Cheese obtained from a Costco retail location has identified the presence of E. coli O157:H7.
  • Preliminary laboratory testing conducted on two additional opened packages of Bravo Farms Dutch Style Gouda Cheese, purchased at Costco from two other case patient’s homes has indicated the presence of E. coli O157:H7. Tests are pending to confirm if it is the outbreak strain.

Our law firm has a national E. coli litigation practice. Our lawyers have been interviewed by The Associated Press, CNN, CBS, FOX, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Lawyers USA and others.
