The press release also states that "From 1998 to 2008, 85 outbreaks of human infections resulting from consumption of raw milk were reported to CDC. These outbreaks included a total of 1,614 reported illnesses, 187 hospitalizations and 2 deaths. Because not all cases of foodborne illness are recognized and reported, the actual number of illnesses associated with raw milk likely is greater." The press release can be found here: http://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/Newsroom/PressAnnouncements/ucm206311.htm<br /><br />Advocates of raw milk counter that contamination of milk can and does happen at any stage --including after pasteurization-- and illness outbreaks from pasteurized milk are underreported.Ithaca's Food Webhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11577288901554718954noreply@blogger.com
