It was announced on December 16, 2010 Sally Jackson Cheeses were implicated in a multistate outbreak of E. coli O157:H7 infections. An investigation into the first two reports of E. coli O157:H7 infections showed that cases had patronized the same restaurant. PulseNet was used to identify additional cases. A total of eight cases were identified. Seven of the cases had eaten artisanal cheeses. Sally Jackson raw goat cheese was served at the restaurant the first two cases had patronized. One case had eaten unidentified cheese from a store, and another case had eaten artisanal cheese at a different restaurant where Sally Jackson Cheeses were carried. One case had eaten locally made cheese at a wedding reception held at the Sally Jackson Cheeses facility. Sally Jackson Cheeses is a artisanal style, cheesemaker located in Okanogan County, Washington. The cheese was held in high regard and distributed nationwide. The cheeses were distinctively wrapped with leaves and tied with twine. The outbreak strain of E. coli O157:H7 was isolated from cheeses collected at the Sally Jackson Cheese facility and from retail outlets where the cheese had been sold. The cheese was recalled as production conditions could have allowed unpasteurized milk to come in contact with finished cheeses. On December 22, Whole Foods Market recalled Sally Jackson cheeses sold under the Whole Foods Market label.
