A California farm’s distribution of unpasteurized milk has been suspended by the state’s department of food and agriculture due to a detection of bird flu in its products. The move comes after two batches of raw milk tested positive for the H5N1 viral strain, prompting a voluntary recall. According to Steve Lyle, a spokesperson for the CDFA, all Raw Farm operations are currently under quarantine, effectively halting the distribution of raw milk products.
The suspension of Raw Milk Farm’s distribution is notable given its connection to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Donald Trump’s pick for secretary of health and human services, who has been a prominent advocate for the health benefits of drinking raw milk. However, officials have long warned about the potential health risks associated with consuming unpasteurized dairy products.
