| Raw Milk |
|
(Oversight: FSAC; EB reaffirmed 4/05; revised 11/08)
|
| |
|
Because apparently healthy cows and goats can shed in their milk organisms which are pathogenic to human beings and may cause diseases such as brucellosis, campylobacteriosis, salmonellosis, and tuberculosis; and, inasmuch as milk handlers may introduce pathogenic agents during the handling of unpasteurized milk (including certified and raw milk), only pasteurized milk and milk products should be sold for human consumption. In those states where the sale of unpasteurized milk is authorized, those products should be labeled "Not Pasteurized and May Contain Organisms that cause Human Disease."
