Minnesota E.coli Outbreak Leads Officials to Raw Milk at Dairy

State officials have announced that lab tests back up their belief that raw milk from a dairy farm in Gibbon, Minnesota is behind a recent E. coli outbreak.

The E. coli-related illnesses have sickened at least five Minnesotans, including a new case officials have now disclosed.

The strain of E. coli O157:H7 that showed up in all of the ill patients matched multiple animals and sites at Hartmann Dairy.

Officials said they are also looking into several additional illnesses that may be connected to the farm’s products.
