Bird flu found in sample of California raw milk, officials say

The California Department of Public Health warned consumers to avoid a specific lot of raw milk after bird flu was detected in a retail sample.

Raw Farm, LLC issued a voluntary recall of cream top, whole raw milk due to potential bird flu contamination and emphasized that pasteurized milk is safe.

The FDA warns that raw milk can carry dangerous germs causing foodborne illnesses, while pasteurization effectively eliminates harmful pathogens.

Supporters of raw milk, like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., criticize the FDA's stance, viewing it as a suppression of health choices.
