Bird Flu Virus Detected in Raw Milk and Beef Samples in the US
ai generated text
The articles discuss the detection of viruses in milk and poultry products. According to one article, a virus-laden raw milk has been linked to the deaths of at least six cats, suggesting that it may be unsafe for human consumption as well. Most commercial milk in the US is pasteurized, which involves heating the milk to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit to kill bacteria and viruses. Another article reports that the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) has detected bird flu virus in beef from an ill dairy cow. The virus was found during testing of 96 dairy cows removed from the supply chain. The USDA claims that heating the milk or beef to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit will kill the virus.
If this becomes a more widespread outbreak in cows, there are other places where there isn't central pasteurization.
