A California producer of raw milk and cheese products is issuing a recall under pressure

from federal officials, as the Dwyer has details.

Raw Farm says it is voluntarily recalling more than a half dozen varieties of its cheddar

cheese made from raw milk.

Previously, the company had refused repeated requests from the Food and Drug Administration

to issue a recall.

The FDA is conducting an inspection of the company's facilities after identifying multiple

cases of E. coli food poisoning tied to the firm's products.

Raw Farm said in a statement that the FDA has not detected the bacteria in its products.

The company says it issued the recall under protest.
