In Italy, a 13-year-old boy, Mattia Maestri, died over the weekend after spending nine years in a vegetative state following a severe *E. coli* infection linked to raw milk cheese. Maestri, then 4, fell ill in June 2017 after eating "Due Laghi" cheese, which his father, Giovanni Battista Maestri, said was marketed as a children’s snack but contained both pasteurized and raw milk. The boy developed hemolytic uremic syndrome, a rare but severe complication, and was misdiagnosed with appendicitis before lapsing into a coma. A pediatrician who allegedly refused to examine him, citing fatigue, was later charged with negligence. The cheese producer received the maximum fine under Italian penal code: €2,478 .
