Raw milk linked to campylobacteriosis outbreak in Utah

1 year ago source slco.org

Outbreak

Utah, United States

Health authorities in Utah are investigating an outbreak of campylobacteriosis related to the consumption of raw, unpasteurized milk. As per Salt Lake County Health Department, 10 cases have been identified in the county, 8 of which confirmed the consumption of raw milk. An additional 4 cases were confirmed elsewhere in the state, raising the total cases to 14. 1 individual required hospitalization but is currently convalescing at home. The source of contamination is under investigation.

This campylobacteriosis outbreak has highlighted the inherent risks of consuming raw milk, which can harbor harmful bacteria like Campylobacter, Salmonella, Listeria, and E. coli. These pathogens can cause serious foodborne illnesses, and in rare cases, paralysis or death. While raw and unpasteurized dairy products may be directly sold from farm to consumer in Utah, public health officials strongly advise against their consumption. However, there are currently 16 licensed raw milk retailers in the state, three of which are in Salt Lake County.

It is crucial to note that raw milk contaminated with harmful bacteria does not differ in smell or appearance from uncontaminated milk.

In case you experienced Campylobacter symptoms such as diarrhea (often bloody), fever, nausea, vomiting, and stomach cramps, report it now. It can help to detect & resolve outbreaks early and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance. If symptoms persist, seek medical care.
