Here’s what to look for.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced a recall of several cheese products from Twin Sisters Creamery due to contamination with E. coli bacteria, including strains that can cause serious illness.
The recalled cheeses were produced using raw, unpasteurized milk and were distributed between July 27 and October 24, 2025 in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Colorado.
They were sold through retail stores, distributors, and restaurants, according to the FDA.
Products affected
The following cheeses from Twin Sisters Creamery are included in the recall:
- Whatcom Blue – batch codes: 250527B, 250610B, 250618B, 250624B
- Farmhouse – batch codes: 250603F, 250616B
- Peppercorn – batch code: 250603P
- Mustard Seed – batch code: 250616M
Some of these cheeses were repackaged by the Peterson Company into 5-oz and 6-oz half-moon pieces wrapped in clear plastic and sold to retailers.
Confirmed cases and testing
As of October 28, three cases of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) infection have been reported — two in Washington and one in Oregon — including one hospitalization.
Lab testing confirmed Whatcom Blue tested positive for E. coli STEC, and Farmhouse for E. coli O103.
What to do
Consumers are urged to check their refrigerators immediately.
If you have any of the recalled cheese, do not eat it.
Dispose of the product, sanitize any surfaces it may have touched, and contact the place of purchase for a refund.
Symptoms of E. coli infection include diarrhea, stomach cramps, vomiting, and low-grade fever.
Seek medical attention if you develop symptoms after eating any of the recalled cheese.
