Pediatricians renew call to ban raw milk

Pediatricians are renewing their call for a ban on raw milk sales, warning that unpasteurized milk carries serious health risks for children, including bacterial infections from pathogens like E. coli and salmonella. The renewed warning comes as anti-science rhetoric around food safety and pasteurization gains ground, with raw milk promoted by some figures despite long-standing medical consensus that pasteurization makes milk safe.
Why now: Renewed anti-science and raw milk promotion has prompted pediatricians to restate their safety warnings, drawing public attention.
