USA – Raw Milk Outbreaks -Campylobacter

Food Poisoning Bulletin Campylobacter

A Campylobacter outbreak associated with raw milk produced on a farm in Cambridge, MN is the fourth Campylobacter raw milk outbreak in four months.  The outbreak, which has sickened at least six people,  prompted officials to temporarily halt on-farm sales of raw milk while they investigate and issue a statewide consumer advisory.

Campylobacter is a bacteria that is transfered via the fecal-oral route, meaning those who develop Campylobacter infections have ingested microscopic amounts of animal feces. Pasteurization kills bacteria that cause disease, but raw mik is not pasteurized
