The California Department of Public Health warned consumers on Sunday to avoid consuming any from the same lot of raw milk.

Summary

California health officials detected bird flu (H5N1) in a sample of raw milk from Raw Farm, prompting a recall.

While no illnesses have been linked to the milk, consumers are urged to avoid it. Pasteurized milk remains safe, as the process eliminates pathogens, including bird flu.

The FDA has long warned about raw milk risks, such as Salmonella and E. coli.

Despite the dangers, figures like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Trump’s pick for Health Secretary, continue to advocate for raw milk consumption.

    IIRC The only place I’ve ever seen raw milk, currently for sale in the US, is a Mormon fundamentalist town out on the Arizona-Utah border. I believe they also sold ice cream or soft serve from it as well. I suspect it may be illegal there too but not enforced.
