H5N1, also known as the Avian Influenza or "Bird Flu," has been detected in raw milk in California. One batch of raw milk sold to the public has been recalled. This news follows rising concerns about bird flu and a confirmed case of the disease in a child.
The article from Food & Wine discusses a recall of raw milk products due to potential contamination with the bird flu virus, specifically the H5N1 strain. This recall was initiated after traces of the virus were found in cow's milk, prompting concerns about the safety of raw milk consumption. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have advised against consuming raw milk, emphasizing that pasteurization kills harmful bacteria and viruses, including influenza. The recall affects several brands and has led to increased scrutiny on dairy farming practices and the sale of unpasteurized milk. The article also touches on the broader implications for public health, the dairy industry, and the ongoing debate about raw milk's benefits versus its risks.
