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.
Raw FarmUnlike most milk sold in stores, raw milk has not been pasteurized, a process that includes heating to a high temperature to kill harmful germs and viruses.
The CDPH said that drinking or inhaling raw milk with bird flu virus may lead to illness.
Further, touching your eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands after touching raw milk with bird flu virus may also lead to infection.
