1. One sick each in 2018, '19, '20 and three in 2022 - this is a very odd timeline for an "outbreak"

Especially for a cheese sold nationally, I would think?

4. Like pulling teeth to find out which cheese, so here it is:

Lidl Premium Brand Brie, which is manufactured by Old Europe Cheese.

I just realized I haven't eaten brie in years.

I guess I'm turning into a peasant in my old age.

5. Get your cheese from local producers

Or as close to home as you can. They're the best, anyway.

8. Local producers?

NM isn't a big dairy state for a number of reasons, so "local" is queso from Mexico.
