Bird Flu Found in California Raw Milk Supply

California health officials detected the bird flu virus in a sample of raw milk from Raw Farm dairy, prompting a voluntary recall of certain milk products. The virus, identified as H5, is likely H5N1, which has been spreading among farms in the state. While no illnesses have been reported from the recalled milk, consumers are advised against consuming it. The detection highlights ongoing concerns about the safety of raw milk, which is legally sold in California but not allowed for interstate transfer by the FDA. The virus has also been found in wastewater across the state.
