After reviewing details of brucellosis illnesses from recent years, including a 19-state outbreak, researchers are saying their findings show a link between raw milk and such infections.
Although the researchers did not name the dairy farm associated with the multistate outbreak, the CDC and the FDA investigated the those illnesses, which occurred during the period reviewed by the research team and were connected to raw milk from Miller’s Biodiversity Farm in Pennsylvania.
Information about the researchers’ work was published recently in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, which is posted by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The group of researchers, made up of people from the CDC and a number of states’ agencies, says additional study is needed regarding the emerging health dangers of consuming raw milk.
