ATLANTA, Feb. 22 (UPI) -- States where the sale of raw milk was legal had more than twice the rate of outbreaks of illness than states where it was illegal, U.S. health officials said.
A study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found the rate of outbreaks caused by unpasteurized milk, also called raw milk, and products made from it was 150 times greater than outbreaks linked to pasteurized milk.
