Five sickened by raw milk from Ferndale dairy

FERNDALE Washington State — Health officials say five people were sickened by bacteria from a batch of raw milk that was recalled by a dairy in Ferndale

According to the Whatcom County Health Department, four were from Whatcom County and three were from neighboring Skagit County. [sic ]

All tested positive for the same strain of campylobacter jejuni that was found last month in unpasteurized milk from Pleasant Valley Dairy. That batch was pulled from the shelves, and the dairy has resumed distribution of raw milk as far south as Seattle.

Health officials also say the dairy has changed its testing procedure to reduce the risk of releasing contaminated milk.

Campylobacter is the most common bacterial cause of diarrhea in the United States

My old man would say this one "breaks the back" of the campaign against raw milk

Technology has triumphed over the fearmongers

Congratulations to all you raw dairy producers in the Great State of Washington for proving that REAL MILK can be delivered to grateful people, safely
