Summary

California health officials detected bird flu (H5N1) in a sample of raw milk from Raw Farm, prompting a recall.

While no illnesses have been linked to the milk, consumers are urged to avoid it. Pasteurized milk remains safe, as the process eliminates pathogens, including bird flu.

The FDA has long warned about raw milk risks, such as Salmonella and E. coli.

Despite the dangers, figures like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Trump’s pick for Health Secretary, continue to advocate for raw milk consumption.

Yet real Swiss cheese like proper Gruyere is forbidden in the US because it's made from raw milk.
