Dear Morningland Customers, Friends, et al,
We have received our lab results on the 14 private samples we sent in, showing "99% weakly positive" for Listeria monocytogenes on 5 of the samples, and 1 sample that tested "weakly positive" and "positive". We have since realized that when we took the samples we may have cross contaminated. No official tests have been taken to date. No matter what clean results we get back at this time, all the cheese is still considered suspect, since, according to one state official, "These pathogens are always present, just not always detectable." This has been the apparent route taken by officials since Friday, Aug. 27th, 2010.
We recently discovered the following in the California Food and Agriculture Code (# 32732), which reads in part: No prosecution which is based upon a sample of milk, cream, a product of milk or cream, or a product resembling milk products shall be had unless a duplicate of the smple is left with the accused.
We continue to solicit your prayers and support, and we thank all of you sincerely,
Joseph, Denise, Jedadiah, and the Morningland Dairy employees and families

Leave it up to the liberals in California to try and attack the raw dairy industry.
I am a registered Democrat, as are all my friends, and we are all supporters and consumers of raw dairy. Please do not make generalized statements such as this, as it merely perpetuates stereotypes and prejudice.
In fact, I eat your cheese with fruits & salad to keep my blood sugar in a healthy range. Sadly, this week, my blood sugar has risen to diabetic levels again, so I guess I have to figure out a way to keep it down until your the cheese is available again.
I personally feel we should be allowed to purchase foods at our own risk during situations like this. Send all the cheese to me! I will just make sure to eat it with some crushed raw garlic (for antimicrobial effect).
This entire situation sounds suspicious - there have been no illnesses, and the bacteria in question is "always present", so what is the problem? What a colossal waste of nutritious food.
The FDA is a joke - they allow harmful medications and substances to be given to children while forcing wholesome foods like almonds to be pasteurized, as if the danger is in the latter. Good grief. /rant
I pray this situation is resolved quickly and your business suffers little from it!
