Tag: Milk recall

As of late 2024, multiple lots of raw, unpasteurized milk from California's Raw Farm have been recalled after testing confirmed the presence of H5N1 bird flu virus. These recalls were initiated by state health officials as a precautionary measure to protect public health.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), from 1998 to 2018, there were 202 outbreaks linked to drinking raw milk, causing 2,645 illnesses and 228 hospitalizations. This highlights the importance of understanding if it is safe to drink whole milk now, particularly concerning pasteurization and potential recalls.
