California Recalls Raw Milk Due to Bird Flu Contamination

California has recalled raw milk from Raw Farm after it tested positive for the H5N1 bird flu virus. While pasteurization effectively kills the virus, raw milk consumption poses significant health risks, including potential infection from bird flu. Despite warnings from health officials, the consumption of raw milk has increased, with some accusing authorities of fearmongering. The California Department of Food and Agriculture will now test Raw Farm's milk for bird flu twice a week. The recalled milk has a lot code of 20241109 and a 'best by' date of November 27, 2024.
