The New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets has issued a warning to consumers in Schuyler County and surrounding areas against consuming raw milk from Sunset View Creamery LLC due to potential contamination with Campylobacter jejuni. The farm, located at 4970 County Road 14, Odessa, New York, has been linked to one reported illness potentially associated with this product.The contamination was discovered in an investigative sample of the milk collected by a Department inspector. The producer was notified of a preliminary positive test result on April 25, 2024, and further laboratory testing confirmed the presence of Campylobacter jejuni in the raw milk sample on April 29, 2024. The farm is now prohibited from selling raw milk until subsequent testing shows the product is free of the bacteria.
The Department also emphasized that raw milk does not provide the protection of pasteurization, a process that kills bacteria responsible for numerous illnesses and diseases. Pasteurization is recognized internationally as an effective means of preventing outbreaks of foodborne illnesses, including campylobacteriosis.

Guys, be careful with raw milk in general. There are a lot of reports starting to come out about outbreaks of bird flu affecting dairy cows and their milk.
