Bird flu virus found in pasteurized milk, though officials maintain supply is safe
Bird flu virus found in pasteurized milk, though officials maintain supply is safe
The FDA is waiting on test results on the effects of pasteurization on the virus in cow's milk, but to date, it's seen nothing that would change the assessment that commercial milk is safe.
2 weeks to flatten the curve guys
You're viewing a single thread.
The Food and Drug Administration said Tuesday that fragments of the bird flu virus had been detected in some samples of pasteurized milk in the U.S.
That’s a key word to leave out of the headline god damn. That would mean pasteurization did its job, whereas the headline implies to me “pasteurization does not kill this virus,” which would be a lot more concerning
According to an FDA study relying on 2016 and 2019 data, 4.4 percent of Americans report consuming raw milk in the past year, although the number has almost certainly grown since then.
Oh cool, great, the fucking idiots are going to kill millions more people by being actual fucking plague rats again
That's a way fucking bigger number than I thought what the hell. You gotta like have a guy for that.
It's akin to telling me 1 in 20 of us have a moonshine guy. Which this board may not be the best sample size for as im sure it skews higher than that
I know both a raw milk lady and a moonshine guy 🤔
not interested in either product, but kinda feeling special now to have this direct access to lethal homemade consumables
Moonshine guy is unironically safer
Not gonna catch TB from moonshine, that’s for sure.
Just blindness if they leave the methanol in.
It's possible if it's adulterated with just methanol but the cure for methanol is ethanol, so the only real significant cases of this happening were when feds were intentionally poisoning supplies during prohibition
Not saying it doesn't happen but it's rare as hell outside of intention
It’s the first % of moonshine, so if it’s each jar filled sequentially, the first jar can be deadly, though that’s more with fruit based brandy that grain based.
The problem is quantities of ethanol required to fix it will be too high if you had pure methanol in the early batch.
The early stuff apparently tastes like shit anyway though, so unless they’re completely clueless it’s not likely to make it in.
I’ve had homemade moonshine and it’s pretty much tastes likes gasoline even without methanol. I can’t imagine how bad that first bit must be then.
Guys chill the fuck out if it's from a farm that has vaccinated animals and you consume the product fresh (within the same day or so) it should be relatively safe (although you must boil it before drinking)
The danger of raw milk is when you buy from a dodgy farm that doesn't do Malt Fever vaccinations or you keep it for a few days
Isn't boiling it before drinking it just over pasteurisation?
I used to live in a rural area with a lot of small farms and there was this loophole where you'd pay a company for partial ownership of a cow, and then they'd deliver raw milk to you. This was their way around laws prohibiting the sale of raw milk, since if you own a cow you're allowed to drink the milk raw if you want. So yeah unfortunately there's easy ways to get it if you live near farmers and shit.
That's so disgusting 🤢
I wouldn't recommend having a guy for that, that's not real raw milk.
Milk comes from cows, not guys.
Maybe it's a new type of guy who just dropped
Raw milk is a real rural woo woo thing. Rural culture has its own brand of essential oils weirdos that do shit like this.
In my city one of the “natural” grocery stores sells it. Shouldn’t be fucking legal.
“natural” grocery stores
So same thing but double the price?
More like 1 in 20 households having a moonshine guy which is probably more like 1 in 100 directly interacting with the moonshine guy.
In my region 1 in 5 have a moonshine guy and about the same have a milk/egg guy.
1 in 20 have more than one of each
Good, I'm sad I'll never get to see an awesome fallout style future, but at least these based Chads are making me feel like we're in a future that's lost the benefits of modern science! Them and the people forgoing vaccines are the closest I'll get to fallout!
:yea:
Not me sitting here thinking dairy companies are also skimping on the pasteurizing process 👀
Real "The Jungle" hours
