The Florida Department of Health is warning about the risks of drinking raw, unpasteurized milk after 21 people, including six children under the age of 10, were sickened by E. coli and campylobacter bacteria linked to raw milk from the same farm. Seven people have been hospitalized, and two have developed severe complications.

"Sanitation practices in this farm are of particular concern due to the number of cases," the department said in a news release. Officials did not identify the farm, but indicated its products were available in Northeast and Central Florida. CBS News has reached out to the health department for more information.
