Most dairy and milk products sold commercially in the U.S. contain pasteurized milk or cream. But raw milk, i.e., unpasteurized milk, can harbor dangerous microorganisms that can pose serious health risks to you and your family.
\nRaw milk is milk from cows, sheep, and goats \u2014 or any other animal \u2014 that has not been pasteurized to kill harmful bacteria. Raw milk can carry dangerous bacteria such as Salmonella, E. coli, Listeria, Campylobacter<\/em>, and others that cause foodborne illness,.<\/p>\n

\nRaw milk is milk that has not been pasteurized. Milk is an excellent medium for microbial growth, and when stored at ambient temperature bacteria and other pathogens soon proliferate.<\/p>\n

As consumption of unpasteurized dairy products grows, illnesses will increase steadily; a doubling in the consumption of unpasteurized milk or cheese could increase outbreak-related illnesses.
