[Guest guest]

Organic Pastures Recall. See below (and be sure your membership to WAPF, FTCLDF,

these organizations can help. But we also need to DO what we can.

IMPORTANT RAW MILK UPDATE

California Department of Food & Ag Recalls OPDC Raw Milk Products

Organic Pastures is dedicated to the health of families across California. It is

our first priority and goal to consistently provide the highest quality and

safest raw milk products to all of our consumers. Our dedication to safe clean

raw milk reaches far beyond required State of California standards.

Organic Pastures was informed earlier this afternoon by the California

Department of Public Health and California Department of Food and Agriculture

that over the course of an eight-week period earlier this year, five people

tested positive for E. Coli O157:H7; these five consumers reported drinking raw

milk.

It is a common goal of Organic Pastures and the California Department of Public

Health to rapidly investigate any linkage between these cases and raw milk. Each

month CDFA tests all Organic Pastures' products for pathogens, in addition

Organic Pastures uses a third-party for pathogen testing multiple times per

week. All these tests have been negative. It has been reported to us by the

California Department of Public Health that as of today all products collected

from the ill patients have been negative for E. Coli 0157:H7.

Organic Pastures, in a collaborative effort with the California Department of

Public Health and the California Department of Food and Agriculture, is

diligently working to quickly resolve this investigation. During this time our

raw dairy products will not be available for sale. Our USDA Organic Beef, Truly

Raw Cheese, and Organic Pastured Eggs will not be affected by this

investigation.

As a family owned company, my wife and I would like to reach out to the families

of these affected loved ones. Our heart goes out to them for a speedy recovery.

Organic Pastures' Facebook, Twitter, and website will be updated as more

information becomes available.
