SnoCo resident contracts E. coli, linked to recalled raw milk cheese

EVERETT — A Snohomish County resident contracted E. coli amid an outbreak tied to recalled raw milk cheese, the Snohomish County Health Department announced Thursday.

At least 10 cases in Washington and Oregon were tied to an outbreak connected to cheese distributed by Twin Sisters Creamery, based in Watcom County. Nine cases were identified in Washington. One person was hospitalized.

As of Friday, only one person in Snohomish County has been identified with E. coli linked to the recalled cheeses, according to a health department spokesperson. They were not hospitalized.

The company voluntarily recalled a number of cheese products made with raw milk — namely Whatcom Blue, Farmhouse, Peppercorn and Mustard Seed — that were shipped to distributors in Oregon and Washington between July 7 and Oct. 22.
