      in a way, no, because raw milk is already unsafe to drink by the time it’s packaged

        +1 for this: I have very personal experience with an E.Coli outbreak in a small town in southern Utah in 2017. Although the infections did not come from raw milk directly, the infections were traced to the area where the milk was packaged - and albeit anecdotally, there were several related deaths over the years that I was aware of, that were never reported due to the…uh…unique religious background of the place.

        so yeah, I mean…don’t let your children play in manure but also…don’t drink milk that you sanitize less than you sanitize your hands.
