Questions follow massive recall of California raw milk after bird flu testing
Less than a week after California health officers confirmed a finding of bird flu virus in store-bought raw milk, state agriculture officials descended on Mark McAfee’s Raw Milk dairy “like never before” Wednesday and began collecting samples from the farm’s two herds, creamery, bulk milk tanks and trucks, according to the owner. The visit follows a recall of Raw Milk products, and also comes amid a growing series of H5N1 bird flu outbreaks in state dairy farms. Last week, public health officials in Santa Clara County detected bird flu virus in a store-bought sample of McAfee’s raw milk. He said the Ct value — and the lack of subsequent positive tests — suggests a “product integrity issue rather than a herd infection.” “What if somewhere in the bottling process, pasteurized shelf milk was spiked into the raw milk to meet inadequate supply demands?
