RE E.Coli outbreak - are they sure this is raw milk? Reports say it is labeled "organic"....but see last paragraph below saying it is pasteurized. I couldn't find any other data on this farm; besides the pages and pages about how an outbreak was attributed to raw milk from this farm...think they'll retract?

" M.O.M's is a small family operated creamery that only sells to a few thousand, largely local, customers. General Mills is a major international corporation with dozens of subsidiaries and hundreds of food product labels. The company's retail customers likely number in the millions.

Both M.O.M's and General Mills, through subsidiaries such as Muir Glen, have come to the realization that selling certified organic products is profitable. The Hartmans, the farm family that owns M.O.M's, has known this for a long time. Before they started their farmstead creamery their cows and land were certified organic. General Mills is more of a newcomer to organics...."

"...M.O.M's can't sell milk straight from the bulk tank. But their goal is to get certified organic dairy products to their customers that tastes as close to the sweet, fresh taste of "straight-from-the-bulk-tank" as processing rules allow. That includes lower pasteurization temperatures, minimal agitation, no homogenization of bottled milk and careful handling of the finished product."

If they want to crack down on small farmers for E. coli, it is easy to do. You can find it on your own kitchen counter, for goodness' sake. You will certainly stand a good chance of finding it in manure.
