Raw milk from Healthy Harvest Farm & Kitchen linked to Cryptosporidiosis/E. Coli Outbreak
3 months ago
The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) is investigating a food-borne disease outbreak linked to raw milk from Healthy Harvest Farm and Kitchen in Hillman, Minnesota. The product, potentially labeled as natural A2 milk, is linked to 8 cases of cryptosporidiosis and 1 case of E. coli O111:H8... See More illness.
The illnesses have been caused by Cryptosporidium parvum, a parasite commonly found in cattle. The cases have related subtypes of Cryptosporidium parvum, suggesting a common source. All patients reported having consumed the mentioned raw milk before falling sick. Among the affected include 4 children under ten, 1 of whom is hospitalized. One individual was diagnosed with both Cryptosporidium parvum and E. coli 0111:H8 infections concurrently. It’s noteworthy that multiple germ infections are a common occurrence in raw milk outbreaks.
Carrie Klumb, a senior epidemiologist at MDH, stated, “Cattle can naturally carry Cryptosporidium and E. coli in their digestive system and shed these germs in their manure even though the animal is not sick. Contamination of the milk with manure can occur during the milking process, and the germs won't be killed if the milk is not pasteurized.”
People infected with Cryptosporidium generally develop watery diarrhea, stomach cramps, loss of appetite and weight loss approximately a week after consuming contaminated foods or touching infected animals. The illness typically lasts for two weeks but symptoms may go in cycles in which people seem to get better for a few days and then feel worse again before the illness ends.
Symptoms of E. coli infections typically include stomach cramps and diarrhea, including bloody diarrhea. People typically become ill two to five days after consuming contaminated food. In some cases, people may develop severe illness that leads to hospitalization. Children under the age of 5 years old, adults over the age of 65 years old and those with weakened immune systems are most at risk.
The MDH urges anyone who may have recently purchased milk from Healthy Harvest Farm and Kitchen to discard the product and not consume it. The milk may be labeled natural A2 milk, and consumers may be unaware that the milk has not been pasteurized.
In case you experienced Cryptosporidiosis and/or E. Coli symptoms, report it now. It can help to detect & resolve outbreaks early and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance. If symptoms persist, seek medical care.

My husband and I keep getting randomly sick. We thought it was a stomach bug, then we thought it was norovirus. But after it kept happening I started paying really close attention to what we were eating and how long after food intake things happened.
I believe... See More it might be from Fairlife 2% milk as saturday morning we both had it and less than 24 hours later we were both in pain. I was having sever stomach cramps, burps that were tasting like sulfur and diarrhea. He was having severe stomach cramps, diarrhea, and migraines. These have been our symptoms on and off for the last two weeks and I think the are coming from Fairlife 2% milk. I am always checking our food to make sure it is good. I even write the date we open things on the product just so we know. So our bottle of Fairlife 2% milk says Best By Dec 17 23. We opened it October 28 2023, it says best used within 14 days of opening. I check to make sure it smells fine (it does) and it always tastes fine too. Its really a bummer because this milk has no lactose which is perfect for my lactose intolerant husband. | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Vomiting, Cramps, Migraine, Burping See Less

The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) is collaborating with various health partners to investigate a Salmonella outbreak linked to Malichita brand cantaloupes. As of November 22, there have been 26 laboratory-confirmed cases of Salmonella Soahanina and Sundsvall illness linked to this outbreak in the following provinces: British Columbia (7), Ontario (7), Quebec (8), Prince Edward Island (2) and Newfoundland and Labrador (2). 6 individuals have been hospitalized and no deaths have been reported. Individuals became sick between mid-October and early-November 2023. Additional Salmonella infections are under investigation and more illnesses associated with this outbreak may be confirmed.
Investigations reveal that the consumption of Malichita brand cantaloupe is the likely culprit behind the outbreak. This fact derived from the reports of some affected individuals who admitted to having eaten the cantaloupe before getting sick. Multiple warnings for food recalls were issued, particularly for Malichita brand cantaloupes sold from October 11 to November 14, 2023. The warnings extended to include other fruits processed in proximity to the Malichita brand cantaloupe, such as honeydew, pineapple, watermelon, and various fruit trays.
The U.S. CDC is also investigating an outbreak of Salmonella Sundsvall illnesses linked to cantaloupes that is the same genetic strain as illnesses reported in this outbreak.
Do not consume, serve, use, sell, or distribute Malichita brand cantaloupe, any products made with Malichita brand cantaloupe, or any recalled produce. If you are unable to verify the brand of cantaloupe, or if your produce is part of the CFIA recalls, it is advisable to not consume it.
