                                According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), between 1998 and 2018, raw milk was linked to more than 2,500 illnesses, 98 hospitalizations, and three deaths in the U.S.. This staggering data helps explain why is raw goat milk illegal in many states and regulated federally, primarily due to the serious risks associated with consuming unpasteurized dairy products.
