4 months agoIn 1985, Salmonella From This Tainted Fridge Staple Caused Several Deaths - Tasting Table
Pasteurized milk is a fridge staple we consider completely safe to consume, given that it's been heated to at least 161 degrees Fahrenheit to destroy any potential pathogens. And yet, it was pasteurized milk from Hillfarm Dairy that caused one of the worst salmonella outbreaks in U.S. history in 1985. The contaminated milk was produced on March 20 and 30, 1985. On April 1, the public was notified of the potential danger in the two milk lots, and the entire Hillfarm Dairy production was shut down on April 9. Illinois, the home of Hillfarm, was the most affected state in the outbreak, with over 15,000 reported cases.
