The Florida Department of Health is investigating an outbreak of E. coli and Campylobacter infections tied to raw milk, highlighting the importance of pasteurization.
Florida E. Coli Outbreak Linked to Raw Milk Consumption
In Florida, 21 individuals have been affected by an outbreak of E. coli and Campylobacter infections linked to raw milk consumption, including six children under ten, leading to seven hospitalizations. The incident has not only raised questions about sanitation practices at the implicated farm, but also spotlighted the critical role of pasteurization. Although raw milk has seen a resurgence in popularity, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and

Drug Administration (FDA) categorize it as among the riskiest of foods. This alarming event underscores the necessity for robust regulation, farm sanitation investment, and consumer education. Public health authorities have issued warnings, emphasizing that despite its banning for human consumption in Florida, raw milk finds its way into local markets as pet food, posing ongoing health risks. This case serves as a call for the dairy industry worldwide to reinforce food safety protocols to avert similar public health crises.
