Girl Nearly Dies After Drinking Raw Milk; Regulators Spare Unlicensed Farm
Original: A Girl Nearly Died After Drinking Raw Milk. The State Did Little to Punish the Unlicensed Farmer Who Sold It.
ProPublica reports that a girl nearly died after drinking raw goat milk sold by an unlicensed California farm. Despite having evidence for punitive action, state regulators took little action against the farmer. The investigation highlights California's thriving black-market dairy sector, sustained by consumer demand for raw milk that health officials say is fueled by misinformation about its safety and benefits.
Why now: The investigation exposes weak enforcement against unlicensed raw milk sellers despite a near-fatal illness, reigniting debate over raw milk safety.
