You cannot reliably tell whether raw milk is safe by looking at it, smelling it or tasting it. Milk can carry harmful germs even when the animal and the milk appear normal. Children, pregnant women, older adults and people with weakened immunity are at greater risk of serious illness.
Pasteurisation kills harmful germs while preserving the nutritional value of milk. Choose pasteurised milk and dairy products where possible. On the farm, keep milking equipment clean, separate milk from sick animals, and never sell or consume milk from a treated animal until the medicine’s withdrawal period has ended.
Anyone who becomes ill after drinking raw milk—especially with fever, vomiting, diarrhoea or severe weakness—should contact a healthcare professional. The herd should also be reviewed if illness, reduced milk yield or udder changes are present.
In your area, why do some people still prefer raw milk: taste, tradition, price or lack of awareness?
