Bird Flu in Raw Milk Poses Health Risks, Studies Confirm
New research confirms that milk from cows infected with H5N1 influenza can remain infectious, even after flash pasteurization, raising concerns about dairy safety. The study found that while vat pasteurization effectively inactivates the virus, flash pasteurization does not completely eliminate it. The findings highlight the risks of consuming raw milk and suggest that commercial pasteurization processes should be thoroughly implemented to ensure safety.
