Milk that comes directly from infected cows contains extremely high levels of virus. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statnews.com\/2024\/05\/24\/bird-flu-raw-milk-nejm-study-unpasteurized-h5n1-virus-made-mice-sick\/\">In laboratory studies<\/a>, raw milk consumption triggers severe disease in some animal models. And there have been multiple reports of dead cats on farms with H5N1-infected cows.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement released Sunday, the California Department of Public Health announced that Raw Milk LLC, a producer from Fresno County, had voluntarily recalled a batch of a product called cream top whole raw milk, at the state\u2019s request. The lot, labeled with the code 20241109, had a \u201cbest by\u201d date of Nov. 27.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The product containing the virus was purchased by the <a href=\"https:\/\/publichealth.santaclaracounty.gov\/diseases\/h5n1-bird-flu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">County of Santa Clara\u2019s Public Health Department<\/a>, which has been testing commercial raw milk for the virus, on Nov. 21. The county said the milk contained H5 virus, suggesting its laboratory had not yet completed testing to indicate the N number of the virus. Given how prevalent H5N1 virus is in California, however, it is highly likely that is what the lab detected.<\/p>\n<p>Retailers selling the product have been advised to remove the affected batch from their shelves, and consumers who purchased the milk should immediately return any remaining product to the store where it was purchased, the press release said. To date no illnesses have been traced to consumption of the recalled milk.<\/p>\n<p>Michael Osterholm, director of the University of Minnesota\u2019s Center for Infectious Diseases Research and Policy, suggested it was only a matter of time before the virus would be found in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statnews.com\/2024\/05\/15\/bird-flu-raw-milk-fda-loophole-lax-enforcement-interstate-ban\/\">commercially sold raw milk<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.statnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/CDPH-raw-milk.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"783\" src=\"https:\/\/www.statnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/CDPH-raw-milk.jpg\" alt=\"A container of milk with the label Raw Milk\" class=\"wp-image-1244432\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.statnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/CDPH-raw-milk.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.statnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/CDPH-raw-milk-328x376.jpg 328w, https:\/\/www.statnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/CDPH-raw-milk-500x573.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.statnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/CDPH-raw-milk-640x734.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.statnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/CDPH-raw-milk-502x576.jpg 502w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 625px) and (max-width: 767px) 719px, (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 899px) 835px, (min-width: 900px) and (max-width: 1023px) 635px, (min-width: 1024px) and (max-width: 1199px) 803px, (min-width: 1200px) and (max-width: 1439px) 994px, (min-width: 1440px) 982px, 576px\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><span class=\"caption\">Raw milk that California authorities say contained H5N1<\/span><wbr\/><cite>California Department of Public Health<\/cite><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cI think the most important message here is this is not a surprise,\u201d said Osterholm, who was formerly Minnesota\u2019s state epidemiologist, a job where he investigated multiple disease outbreaks linked back to raw milk consumption.<\/p>\n<p>He said it isn\u2019t yet clear what the risk will be for anyone who consumes this milk.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t know what oral consumption of milk will do.

As of Friday, 402 herds in the state had tested positive for bird flu. Nationally 616 herds in 15 states are known to have been infected with the virus since the outbreak was <a href=\"http:\/\/v\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">first detected in late March.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>While it has reported by far the most infected herds of any state, California is also the state that has been most proactive in looking for the virus in cows, and in people. The state has reported 29 human infections so far, including one last week in a child who had no known contact with infected cows or poultry.<\/p>\n<p>The state has been doing weekly bulk tank testing on farms in the vicinity of, or which share workers or equipment with affected farms. Following the discovery of the virus in the Raw Farm product, the state\u2019s Department of Food and Agriculture tested at both of the company\u2019s locations. Results were negative. But the public health department\u2019s statement said testing of bulk tanks will now be done twice a week. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/environment\/story\/2024-11-24\/bird-flu-detected-in-california-raw-milk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Los Angeles Times<\/a> reported that McAfee, the owner of Raw Farm LLC, has allowed testing of his milk since late April.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n\t\t\t\twindow.statGlobal = window.statGlobal || { };\n\t\t\t\twindow.statGlobal.analytics = window.statGlobal.analytics || { };\n\t\t\t\twindow.statGlobal.analytics.fbq = function( eventName, parameters ) {\n\t\t\t\t\tjQuery.ajax( {\n\t\t\t\t\t\turl: '\/wp-json\/stat-analytics\/v1\/facebook-pixel',\n\t\t\t\t\t\ttype: 'POST',\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata: {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tevent_name: !eventName ? null : eventName,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tparameters: !parameters ? {} : parameters,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tsource_url: window.location.href\n\t\t\t\t\t\t},\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsuccess: function( data, textStatus, jqXHR ) {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\/\/console.log( data );\n\t\t\t\t\t\t},\n\t\t\t\t\t\terror: function ( jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown ) {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\/\/console.log( jqXHR );\n\t\t\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t\t} );\n\t\t\t\t};\n\t\t\t\tjQuery( window ).on( 'load', function() {\n\t\t\t\t\tif ( !window.bgmpGdpr || window.bgmpGdpr.isOptedOut() ) {\n\t\t\t\t\t\treturn;\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t\t!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n\t\t\t\t\tn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\n\t\t\t\t\tn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n\t\t\t\t\tt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,\n\t\t\t\t\tdocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n\t\t\t\t\tfbq( 'init', '436331036555416' );\n\t\t\t\t\tfbq( 'track', 'PageView' );\n\t\t\t\t\tdocument.addEventListener( 'stat-hubspot-signup-subscribed', () => {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Successful HubSpot newsletter signup AJAX form submission.\n\t\t\t\t\t\twindow.statGlobal.analytics.fbq( 'Lead' );\n\t\t\t\t\t} );\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t} );\n\t\t\t<\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.statnews.com\/2024\/11\/24\/bird-flu-h5n1-raw-milk-llc-california-virus-testing\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Health officials in California have discovered bird flu virus in raw milk for sale in a store in the state, a development scientists following the ongoing outbreak of bird flu &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=129960\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-129960","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-health","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129960","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=129960"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129960\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=129960"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=129960"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=129960"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
