Raw Milk Health Advisories

Raw Milk Health Advisories:

Having seen about eight health warnings in the past two months with respect to raw milk I thought it might be a good service to start keeping track of when and where such warnings are making it into the news. Started May 5, 2007.

From: Tribune-Star
Two recent confirmed cases of listeriosis and campylobacteriosis were identified in pregnant women in Indiana, associated with the consumption of unpasteurized dairy products. The likely sources of those infections are raw milk purchased at a farm and unpasteurized Mexican-style cheese (queso fresco) purchased from a door-to-door vendor, the release stated.
