In reply to the discussion: ⚠️CDC WARNING FOR ALL VETERINARIANS, POULTRY, DAIRY & CATTLE FARMWORKERS, SLAUGHTERHOUSE WORKERS [View all]littlemissmartypants
(23,052 posts)13. And if the bird flu doesn't get you the Brucellosis might.
People who aren't following the rules and good sense science just because they think they don't have to and want to make a buck shouldn't be selling food to the public that is possibly unsafe.
I wonder if there's a way to report that behavior to the local health department. Would they be shut down? What recourse do we have if someone drinks unsafe products and gets sick or dies?
Many of these roadside milk sales and they are abundant where I live, advertise that unpasteurized milk is healthier and better for you and nothing could be further from the truth.

I just skimmed through the replies, don't see any recommendations. I'd recommend keeping them

A worker could unknowingly spread the virus throughout an entire herd and take it home with them.

I'm aware of that. I'm speaking to the different mitigation techniques.
