As dairy farms across the state continue to struggle with growing outbreaks, California health officials announced Wednesday that another batch of raw milk from a Fresno-based raw farm has tested positive for the avian influenza virus.
Santa Clara County Public Health Department officials tested store-bought raw milk for the second time in about a week and found evidence of the virus. The samples were collected and tested on Tuesday.
Law Farms is voluntarily recalling “Cream Top” whole milk half-gallon size products with lot number 20231119 and a best before date of December 7th.
Law Farm owner Mark McAfee said the state Department of Food and Agriculture has asked him to “hold off on further product deliveries” until Friday.
On Wednesday, state agriculture officials visited his farms in Fresno and Hanford and his dairy plant in Fowler, inspecting finished and unfinished products, trucks, bulk tanks and bottling facilities.
He said the investigation was “the most thorough ever”.
There have been no reports of illnesses related to this second recall or the first. The first recall also involved Low Farm and was limited to batches bottled on November 9th.
State and federal health officials say the H5N1 avian influenza virus poses a low risk to the public. However, they urge people not to drink unpasteurized raw milk.
In addition, WastewaterScan, an infectious disease surveillance network led by researchers at Stanford University and Emory University, and laboratory testing partner Verily, Alphabet’s life sciences organization, are collaborating to monitor all waste disposal in California. When the site was inspected, a positive test result for avian influenza was found. For the past two weeks.
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health issued a statement late Wednesday expanding the list of stores that may have sold raw milk contaminated with avian influenza.
