I love how the makers can "just disagree".
I'm Argentinian and if ANMAT (our FDA) recalls something, it's gone, no involvement from the manufacturer really needed.
They could revoke your license to make and sell food wholesale.
> Raw Farm, is rejecting the regulator’s findings and refusing to voluntarily recall its cheese.
The FDA has mandatory and "voluntary" recalls. The FDA could require Raw Farms to recall their products if they had a strong enough case.
This is mostly a non-story.
It's a great story for informing any suckers out there who bought this cheese that they should probably throw it out and avoid buying from the company in the future since they've got a long history of poisoning people and clearly don't care much about the safety of their customers.
Our Constitution accounts for government agents gone awry so there is back and forth. The FDA can go as far as mandating a recall but they need evidence, which they obviously lack at this point or they would just mandate the recall.
This is some FDA operatives using the rules and a PR campaign to wage war on raw dairy, something that is not new in this country at all.
