Deadly listeria outbreak linked to raw milk | General Homesteading Discussion | Forums

I wonder if this is going to cause states to reverse their decisions on raw milk

Health officials say a deadly outbreak of listeria has been linked to raw milk from an organic farm in Pennsylvania.

The illnesses happened in 2014 but it took investigators until now to determine the cause. Two patients got sick from the bacteria, one in California and one in Florida, and the patient in Florida died.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Friday that the outbreak had been traced to unpasteurized raw milk produced by Miller's Organic Farm in Bird-In-Hand, Pennsylvania.

In January, the FDA found listeria in samples of raw chocolate milk produced by the same company, and said genetic testing confirmed it was closely related to the strain that sent the two patients to the hospital in 2014.
