在Raw Farm，LLC生产和包装的原料奶零售样品中发现禽流感后，加州公共卫生部周日警告消费者避免食用同一批次的任何原料奶。
在该州的要求下，这家位于弗雷斯诺县的公司还主动召回了受影响的产品:批号为20241109的全脂生牛奶，保质期为11月27日。
任何拥有该产品的人都可以从最初购买该产品的地方获得退款。
零售商也被通知将受影响的产品下架。
CDPH也强调巴氏杀菌奶仍然可以安全饮用。
在当前疫情中发现的大多数人感染禽流感的病例是与禽类或奶牛直接接触的人。目前还没有任何与食用生牛奶有关的病例，但是与生牛奶有关的风险早已确定。
美国食品药品监督管理局有之前警告过喝生牛奶的潜在危险。
在2024年5月的一份声明中，它警告说，“生牛奶可能携带危险的细菌，如沙门氏菌，大肠杆菌，李斯特菌，弯曲杆菌和其他导致食源性疾病的细菌，通常被称为‘食物中毒’。”"
生乳制品不经过巴氏杀菌，巴氏杀菌是一种杀死细菌和病毒的加热过程。
然而，巴氏杀菌奶和奶制品可以安全食用，因为加热过程杀死了包括禽流感在内的致病病原体。
然而，生牛奶确实有它的支持者，包括小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪
上月，在X上的一篇文章中，称FDA对它的“积极压制”是该机构“健康战争”的一部分。
11月，当选总统唐纳德·川普选择小RFK领导卫生与公众服务部。这项任命需要参议院的批准。
截至周日晚上，还没有报告说在这一批原料奶中发现了与禽流感有关的疾病。
受污染的样本是在圣克拉拉县公共卫生实验室进行的例行检测中发现的，该实验室检测零售商店的生奶制品，作为消费者保护的第二道防线。这一发现随后被加州动物健康和食品安全实验室系统所证实。
作为对阳性检测的回应，加州食品和农业部在原料农场设施进行了现场检测，结果显示禽流感呈阴性。CFDA将继续每周两次检测原料奶银行。
Bird flu found in sample of California raw milk: Officials
After bird flu was detected in a retail sample of raw milk produced and packaged by Raw Farm, LLC, the California Department of Public Health warned consumers on Sunday to avoid consuming any from the same lot.
At the state's request, the Fresno County-based company also issued a voluntary recall of the affected product: cream top, whole raw milk from lot No. 20241109 with a "best by" date of Nov. 27.
Anyone in possession of the product will be able to pursue a refund from the location where the item was originally purchased.
Retailers have also been notified to take affected products off of their shelves.
The CDPH has also emphasized that pasteurized milk remains safe to drink.
Most cases of bird flu discovered in humans in the current outbreak are with people that worked directly with birds or cows. There are not any cases known to be associated with raw milk consumption, but the risks associated with raw milks have been long established.
The Food and Drug Administration haspreviously warnedof the possible dangers of drinking raw milk.
In a statement from May 2024, it warned, "Raw milk can carry dangerous germs such as Salmonella, E. coli, Listeria, Campylobacter, and others that cause foodborne illness, often called 'food poisoning.'"
Raw milk products do not undergo pasteurization, which is a heating process that kills bacteria and viruses.
Pasteurized milk and dairy products, however, are safe to consume because the heating process kills pathogens that can cause illness -- including bird flu.
However, raw milk does have its proponents, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Last month,in a post on X,called the FDA's "aggressive suppression" of it part of the agency's "war on health."
In November, President-elect Donald Trump selected RFK Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. The appointment requires Senate confirmation.
As of Sunday evening, no illnesses had been reported in association with the finding of bird flu in the single lot of raw milk.
The contaminated sample was discovered as part of routine testing performed by the County of Santa Clara Public Health Laboratory, which tests raw milk products from retail stores as a second line of consumer protection. The finding was then verified by the California Animal Health and Food Safety Laboratory System.
In response to the positive test, the California Department of Food and Agriculture provided onsite testing at the Raw Farms facilities, which were negative for bird flu. CFDA will continue testing raw milk banks twice per week.
