Public health officials in Salt Lake County are investigating an outbreak associated with raw, unpasteurized milk.
The Salt Lake County Health Department has confirmed 14 people with infections from campylobacter. All but two of the patients reported drinking raw milk before becoming sick, according to a notice from the department.
The department reported that the patients range from 2 to 73 years old. One of them was hospitalized.
As of Wednesday, Oct. 11, the health department reported that the source of the raw milk had not been determined. The department is urging people only to drink milk that has been pasteurized.
The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Food and Drug Administration, and most state and local health departments also recommend against consuming unpasteurized raw milk and its products. Raw dairy products can contain pathogens like Listeria, E. coli, campylobacter, Salmonella, and hepatitis A.
