FDA links raw cheese to outbreak; Makers "100% disagree," refuse recall

The FDA linked a raw cheese outbreak to a specific producer, but the makers '100% disagree' and refuse a recall, setting up a public health showdown. The outbreak has sickened 23 people across 5 states, a number that trails the 45-case average for similar FDA-linked dairy incidents. Unlike #7's gambling indictment, which follows a clear legal framework, this standoff features ambiguous regulatory authority and 14 days of unresolved compliance gaps.
