Bird flu in US cattle has caused concern amongst milk-drinkers. Is cow's milk safe to drink?

BBC  

Bird flu in US cattle has caused concern amongst milk-drinkers. "Because of the limited information available about the possible transmission of H5N1 virus via raw milk, the FDA continues to consider all ongoing scientific research related to HPAI in bovine milk," the FDA spokesperson says. "I have zero concern that raw milk consumption will go down," says Aaron McAfee, president of Raw Farm, a fifth-generation dairy farm in California that only produces raw dairy products. "I have campaigned aggressively in the past against sale of commercial raw milk in stores as a matter of public safety," says Payne. "I wouldn't let anyone I cared about consume raw milk, especially a herd where the virus was circulating in cattle," says Payne.
