Part 2/9:
Megan Davis, an environmental health professor, expressed her lack of surprise regarding the recall from Raw Farm, a Fresno-based supplier of raw milk products, after H5N1, the bird flu virus, was discovered in their products. As governmental authorities have taken action, all operations at Raw Farm are currently suspended, raising questions about the implications for public health and consumer safety.
Steve Lyle, director of public affairs for the California Department of Food and Agriculture, confirmed the presence of the virus and the subsequent quarantine measures in a recent statement. This decision came after Raw Farm had voluntarily recalled batches of their raw milk following detection of the virus by the Santa Clara County Public Health Department.
