Current head mod is absent, so I’m appointing new mods. It’s a slow community, so workload is light. I’ll monitor reports. Must not be banned from a major instance, or mod actions won’t federate. 🖍🤖

📰 Raw milk CEO whose products have been recalled may lead US raw milk policy (direct link), posted in SERIOUS NEWS ONLY (👍56 👎1)

Raw milk CEO whose products have been recalled may lead US raw milk policy

The idea, he told the Guardian, would be to create a “raw milk ordinance”, mirroring the existing federal “standard milk ordinance”. McAfee’s Raw Farm in Fresno supplies raw milk and milk products to grocery stories across California, and has the unique distinction of supplying the kefir used in the smoothies at Los Angeles’s celebrity-approved Erewhon market. Contact with raw milk and the handling of raw milk, however, has been associated with infections – especially among dairy workers. Antibodies to H5N1, however, have not been found in raw milk products, and cow antibodies would not confer immunity to humans. The California department of food and agriculture also quarantined the farm and suspended the distribution of Raw Farm products produced on or after 27 November. 🖊️️🤖
