In March, 2012, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released a report titled “Nonpasteurized Dairy Products, Disease Outbreaks, and State Laws – United States, 1993-1996,” which concluded:
“Public health officials at all levels should continue to develop innovative methods to educate consumers and caregivers about the dangers associated with nonpasteurized dairy products. State officials should consider further restricting or prohibiting the sale or distribution of nonpasteurized dairy products within their states. Federal and state regulators should continue to enforce existing regulations to prevent distribution of nonpasteurized dairy products to consumers. Consumption of nonpasteurized dairy products cannot be considered safe under any circumstances.”
