Officials from several government agencies said today that tests for the presence of remnants of high path avian influenza (HPAI) in milk and dairy products show that pasteurization inactivates the virus, making the dairy products safe, but testing continues.
The officials said that preliminary results from 297 total retail dairy samples of fluid milk, cottage cheese and sour cream have shown those products to be safe.
Infant formula is also being tested, a Food and Drug administration official said.
Raw milk headed for pasteurization is being tested, and the government continues to urge people not to consume raw milk.
