Bird flu has been detected in 'very high concentrations' in milk, health officials announced.
The World Health Organization (WHO) said Friday that bird flu, also known as H5N1, has been found in raw milk, which is milk that does not go through standard pasteurization processes to rid it of bacteria.
Officials said that pasteurized milk, which is standard in major retailers, is still safe.
Bird flu has surged in cows and chickens throughout the US, with animals in 29 farms across eight states becoming affected, according to the CDC.
Last week, Dr Darin Detwiler, former FDA and USDA food safety advisor, told DailyMail.com that Americans should avoid rare meat and runny eggs while the outbreak in cattle was ongoing, as improperly cooked animal products are more likely to carry viruses and bacteria.
Avian influenza A(H5N1) first emerged in 1996 but since 2020, the number of outbreaks in birds has grown exponentially, alongside an increase in the number of infected mammals.
The strain has led to the deaths of tens of millions of poultry, with wild birds and land and marine mammals also infected.
Cows and goats joined the list last month - a surprising development for experts because they were not thought to be susceptible to this type of influenza.
Earlier this month, a dairy farm worker in Texas became the second-ever American to become infected with bird flu. The CDC states that the patient had a 'mild' infection with just one symptom - inflammation of the eye - and has reported to be isolated and 'recovering well.'
They are also being treated with the drug oseltamivir, or Tamiflu, and are not thought to have passed the virus on to anyone else.

Why were they looking in milk ?
The way they are going, I wouldn’t be surprised if they put it there themselves.
I only drink whale milk. No bird milk for us.
Better break out the mail-in ballots; you know, to be safe.
I don’t believe an ‘effing thing these WHO aholes say about anything.
Why does the WEF/NWO/UN hate cows so much????
Is it difficult to milk a chicken?
As Greg Focker famously said, you can milk anything with nipples.
Chickens must have really small nipples. Not sure why anyone wants to drink chicken milk.
Cows are way better milk sources .
Excellent article. You should post it.
As useless as t*ts on a chicken …
I switched to using pasteurized eggs in my homemade ice cream years ago out of concern of salmonella for the youngsters in the family.
During the 2021/2022 winter season, we isolated highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 viruses harbouring an amino acid substitution from Asparagine(N) to Aspartic acid (D) at residue 193 of the hemagglutinin (HA) receptor binding domain (RBD) from migratory birds in South Korea...
Anyone else wonder if the virus has had a little human help...?
