The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued an open letter urging states to enhance measures to protect the public from the risks associated with raw milk contaminated with the H5N1 bird flu virus.
The FDA recommends that states intensify public awareness efforts regarding the dangers of consuming raw milk and conduct testing on dairy herds that produce it for sale. The agency also advises states to utilize their regulatory powers to halt the sale of raw milk within affected areas.
