A raw milk maker who is now prohibited from distributing his product after California regulators found multiple instances of bird flu contamination believes he is the target of a political witch hunt
California has suspended Raw Farm, LLC from distributing all “raw milk, cream, kefir, butter and cheese products” made from November 27 onwards” after bird flu was detected in multiple raw milk products in stores and at bottling sites, state regulators said. The move comes after bird flu was detected in their product last week
Raw Farms CEO Mark McAfee is adamant that his milk poses no threat, and told The Post he is working to source milk from cows outside his region where bird flu has not spread
While McAfee contends the quarantine is the result of “political forces” that are on a “warpath” against raw, unpasteurized milk
“For the last 40 years the FDA has hated raw milk. There is Bizarre crazy suppression of raw milk anywhere any way they can do it,” he told The Post
Raw Farm is also voluntarily pulling all of its raw milk and cream products off store shelves after the bird flu contamination was detected, the California Department of Public Health said in a statement. The recall applies to all raw milk and dairy products produced between November 9 and November 27
State regulators urged consumers to the “immediately return any remaining product to the retail point of purchase,” and to “avoid consuming any Raw Farm products for human consumption”
