West Jordan dairy identified as source of raw milk illnesses

The source of a cluster of illnesses caused by campylobacteriosis in Utah has been traced back to a West Jordan dairy called "Utah Natural Meat and Milk." At least 12 of the infected individuals reported drinking raw milk purchased from the same dairy. Raw milk, which has not been pasteurized, can contain harmful bacteria such as Campylobacter, Salmonella, Listeria, and E. coli. The dairy's license to sell raw milk has been suspended, and health officials recommend opting for pasteurized milk to avoid the risk of bacterial contamination.
