The problem is not the raw milk, it is the listeria, we just have to apply some treatment to the raw milk to get rid of the listeria.
Pathogens don't like heat. Maybe there's a way of heating the raw milk to kill the pathogens. 🤔
Ha! Next you'll be asking for clean facilities where they process all this stuff.
Having toured a few dairy plants in Missouri while job hunting a few years back, the pasteurization is doing some really heavy lifting. Very concerned about hormones in milk. But not so much about open vat homogenizers in excessively damp rooms or cleaning the road grime out of the hoses on trailer trucks bringing the milk in. Give it quick 48hr incubation on TSA and call it good. "Milk expires too fast to bother with any other testing" Wild the F in FDA is apparently the least fucks given part. "Post in notes in the room where they're milling stainless steel down for stethoscope bodies?! Those could be uncontrolled documents!"
Like Pasteurization?
theres also mycobacterium bovis.
