Sales of raw milk are on the rise despite years of health warnings and an outbreak of bird flu in U.S. dairy cows. Federal officials warn about the risks of drinking raw milk.
From 1998 to 2018, CDC linked over 200 illness outbreaks to raw milk, sickening 2,600+ people and hospitalizing 225. Raw milk poses higher risks of bacterial illnesses compared to pasteurized milk.
Viral remnants of bird flu have been detected in raw milk of infected cows in nine states. Despite this, FDA assures safety of pasteurized milk, emphasizing proper pasteurization kills viruses.
Food experts express surprise at the surge in raw milk consumption, highlighting the high risks associated with it. Research shows raw milk is more likely to cause illnesses attributed to bacteria like campylobacter, listeria, salmonella, and E. coli.
