These raw milk fools never learn. Raw milk has always been dangerous. Now even more dangerous. Avoid raw milk.
Raw milk is safe to drink in the UK.
Kinda, it’s regulated because it can be so unsafe and even then you are kinda risking a bad time drinking raw milk. There is a reason we pasturise it.
Well, that’s the point of regulations - to make food good and safe.
Yeah I understand but the regulations are basically to protect people from being exposed to it. So it’s still unsafe but because it’s so regulated you have to find sources for it and those sources have to prove they don’t have sick cows to sell you raw milk I assume a lot of not safe milk gets through so I would argue that it isn’t safe to drink raw milk ever no matter what unless you are a baby cow and even them it still might kill you… they banned it in Scotland since its dangerous and you can’t buy it in any markets anywhere in the uk
That logic can be applied to literally everything. You can’t just sell random shit and say it’s food. Not sure why you’re arguing. The point is that raw milk is safe, food in the US is not.
Is raw milk the new anti-vax?
I always find it interesting that Americans are scared of raw foods. No raw milk, no carpaccio or tartare, raw pork is a no-no and raw seafood is an instant death. Really tells you that the food quality in the US is very low.
Raw pork literally has a risk of brain worms. It’s been in the news.
It is extremely rare in the UK https://parasitesandvectors.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13071-017-2280-8
You’re more likely to get poisoning from cooked rice. If cooked rice is ok, raw pork is more than ok.
You should also know one thing about food in the UK - if some infection is found in the food chain, Brits tend to obliterate the whole animal stock to stop it. A lot of diseases don’t exist in the UK because Brits annihilated whole animal populations. Like tick bourne encephalitis, for example. Or rabies. Or when whole chicken farms are burned to the ground when one bird gets avian flu. We take this shit real serious.
