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 pressing for a nationwide ban on the sale and distribution of raw, unpasteurized milk. The group cites the product's growing popularity and the health risks it poses to children, including serious illness from bacteria eliminated by pasteurization. The renewed push puts the pediatricians' organization at odds with the expanding raw dairy market and loosening state access rules.
Why now: Raw milk's rising popularity and renewed debate over its safety have made the pediatricians' ban call timely and contentious.
