“American Academy of Pediatrics Calls for Raw Milk Ban as Outbreaks Rise” — what this page in the network covers. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is urging a nationwide ban on raw milk sales, citing mounting public health risks as unpasteurized dairy gains popularity in the United States. The physicians' group issued the call last week, pointing to several recent disease outbreaks linked to raw milk consumption. Unpasteurized milk can harbor dangerous pathogens such as E.
coli, Salmonella, and Listeria, which can cause severe illness, especially in children, pregnant women, and those with weakened immune systems. Despite these risks, raw milk sales have surged, driven by consumer interest in natural foods and perceived health benefits. The AAP's stance aligns with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration, both of which warn against consuming raw milk.
