California agriculture and public health officials are rapidly responding to a bird flu outbreak impacting dairy farms, increasing safety measures and monitoring livestock.
The bird flu virus has now been detected at 679 of California's 1,100 dairies, prompting state officials to enforce protective measures for farmworkers and cattle.
Experts warn against consuming unpasteurized milk, emphasizing that pasteurization effectively eliminates harmful pathogens, following recent recalls of contaminated raw milk.
The outbreak, which originated in the Central Valley, has caused serious concern as it spreads through sick cows, equipment, and other factors across the state.
