2010 Outbreak of Campylobacteriosis Linked to Ropelato Dairy Raw Milk, Utah
Nine people in Weber, Davis, and Cache Counties, Utah, were confirmed to have developed infection with Campylobacter after consuming raw, unpasteurized, milk. The milk was produced by Ropelato Dairy. Laboratory analysis of the milk showed high levels of fecal coliforms. High coliform counts suggest the presence of disease-causing pathogens in the milk. This was the second raw milk-related outbreak, in Utah, in a month. The Utah Legislature, in 2007, approved the sale of raw milk.
