Outbreak linked to raw cheese grows; 9 cases total, one with kidney failure

A lot of traditional European hard cheeses are raw (parmesan, gruyere, Lincolnshire poacher) and I've never heard of anyone getting E coli from parmesan. I'm guessing this is more down to generally rubbish US food quality than anything else, it's not like raw milk where it's a "health" fad, raw cheese is just normal in a lot of European countries.

In case anyone's wondering what "raw" cheese is, apparently it's cheese made from unpasteurised milk.
