“Bird flu detected in raw milk sold in California, health officials say”
California health officials warned the public to avoid drinking one batch of whole raw milk from Raw Farm, which has issued a voluntary recall.
“Bird flu has been detected in a batch of raw milk sold in California stores, and the state’s department of public health said Sunday that the public should not drink it.”
“No one has become sick nor contracted the disease from this lot of raw milk, the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) noted. However, “out of an abundance of caution, and due to the ongoing spread of bird flu in dairy cows, poultry, and sporadic human cases, consumers should not consume any of the affected raw milk,” the agency said in a news release.”
