Bird Flu Detected In Batch Of Raw Milk Sold In California
ForbesDEC 1 2024
Raw milk poses significant health risks as it hasn't undergone pasteurization to kill dangerous pathogens, including bacteria and viruses that can cause serious illness. The bird flu virus could be dangerous if consumed in large quantities through raw milk, yet thousands of Americans continue to lose their lives thanks to high-profile figures who insist on promoting its consumption.
There's no evidence to support that bird flu gets transmitted from person to person through consumption of raw milk, or that raw milk has no credible health benefits. Raw milk consumption is a matter of consumer choice and natural food options. Excessive regulation of natural dairy products deprives Americans of their rights. FDA's war on public health must end.
