William’s Valley Family Farm LLC. has implemented a recall of raw milk as a result of Shiga toxin-producing E.coli (STEC) contamination.  The action was initiated after a surveillance sample demonstrated the presence of the STEC on assay.  Sale of raw milk to retail customers is legal in Washington state, but product is required to carry a warning label. 

Providing raw milk to children is effectively a form of abuse given the high probability of contamination with a range of pathogens including Campylobacter, Salmonella, STEC, and Listeria.
