00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,740
Beard flu in U.S. cattle has caused concern amongst milk drinkers.

2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:06,500
Is cow's milk safe to drink?

3
00:00:07,219 --> 00:00:13,980
An outbreak of avian influenza HSN1 in American JV cattle has led to the detection of viral remains

4
00:00:13,980 --> 00:00:18,300
in 35% of pasteurized milk samples in 10 states.

5
00:00:18,839 --> 00:00:21,399
Despite the presence of non-infectious fragments,

6
00:00:21,399 --> 00:00:25,859
the FOA is almost completely sure that through egg inoculation tests,

7
00:00:25,859 --> 00:00:30,359
pasteurization effectively inactivates the virus, ensuring the safety of pasteurized milk.

8
00:00:30,699 --> 00:00:36,320
However, there is a chance that the virus is not completely inactive. Experts like Michelle Payne

9
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:43,159
affirm that pasteurized dairy products are safe and have been secure since 1880s. Also, raw milk

10
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:49,200
can have harmful pathogens and possess significant health risks. Recent incidents, such as an illness

11
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:55,299
caused by Campylobacter from raw milk in New York and fatal infections in barn cats, shows these

12
00:00:55,299 --> 00:00:56,299
dangers.

13
00:00:56,299 --> 00:01:01,479
Also, some studies suggest potential health benefits of raw milk.

14
00:01:01,479 --> 00:01:04,280
They also carry serious infection risks.

15
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:10,540
The FDA continues to warn against milk consumption and to have extreme caution in these states.

16
00:01:10,540 --> 00:01:15,700
However, the FDA and other experts maintain that pasteurization is crucial for public

17
00:01:15,700 --> 00:01:16,700
health.

18
00:01:16,700 --> 00:01:22,000
Despite debates and political contention, the FDA's opinion remains firm on the necessity

19
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,000
of pasteurization to prevent food illnesses.
