California health officials have issued a warning after bird flu was detected in a batch of “cream top, whole raw milk” produced by Raw Farms LLC. The contaminated milk, discovered by the Santa Clara County Public Health Department, has prompted a statewide recall at the request of the California Department of Public Health (CDPH). Consumers are urged not to drink the raw milk and to return any remaining product to the retailer immediately. While no illnesses have been reported so far, the CDPH emphasized caution due to the spread of bird flu in dairy cows, poultry, and occasional human cases. Federal agencies have long warned against consuming unpasteurized dairy products, which pose significant health risks despite unfounded claims of benefits. Raw milk has become a contentious cultural symbol, with figures like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and influencers on social media promoting it.
