Pediatricians Renew Call for Nationwide Raw Milk Ban
Original: American Academy of Pediatrics Renews Call for Ban on Raw Milk
The American Academy of Pediatrics is pushing for a nationwide ban on the sale and distribution of raw, unpasteurized milk. The group, the largest professional organization of pediatricians in the United States, cites the growing popularity of raw dairy products and the health risks they pose, particularly the potential harm to children who consume them. The renewed call comes as raw milk has gained traction in some consumer circles despite long-standing safety warnings.
Why now: Raw milk's rising popularity and renewed debate over food safety have prompted the pediatricians' group to escalate its public health warning.
