Food Safety Alert: Detection of EHEC STEC in Raw Goat Milk Cheeses
On October 10, 2025, a significant food safety incident was reported involving the detection of Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) and Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) in cheeses made from raw goat milk. This incident originated in France and has raised concerns regarding the safety of these dairy products.
Raw milk products, including cheeses made from unpasteurized milk, can pose serious health risks due to the presence of harmful bacteria.

Consumers are advised to exercise caution and avoid consumption of cheeses made from raw goat milk until further notice. It is essential to stay informed about this situation as health authorities work to address the contamination and ensure food safety.
For those who may have purchased these products, it is recommended to check for any recall announcements and to follow guidelines provided by local health authorities. Maintaining food safety is crucial, and awareness of potential hazards can help prevent foodborne illnesses.
