Just another example of the fickleness of human beings. In the US 3.2 millon consumers, an estimated 2 percent of at-home meal preparers, or 3.2 million people (1.3 percent of the U.S. population age 18 or over) consumed or served raw milk. A CDC study has shown outbreaks linked to raw milk has increased over time. From 1998 through 2018, 202 outbreaks and 2,645 outbreak-associated illnesses occurred because of drinking raw milk. Areas where raw milk was legally sold had 3.2 times more outbreaks than areas where the sale of raw milk was illegal. Areas where raw milk was allowed to be sold in retail stores had 3.6 times more outbreaks than areas where sale was allowed only on farms. Another study showed that 4.4% of adults consumed raw milk at least once in the past year. Consumers usually were younger, from rural areas, and where retail sale of raw milk is legal. Most (62%) of all raw milk consumers drink this milk less than once per month. Another study showed consumers of unpasteurized milk and cheese are a small proportion of the US population (3.2% and 1.6%, respectively), but compared with consumers of pasteurized dairy products, they are 838.8 times more likely to experience an illness and 45.1 times more likely to be hospitalized. According to the Pew charitable trusts research https://lnkd.in/e8F6an-i Overall average hospital costs across the USA for a fbd case is $1850 but of course for cases of Enterohaemorrhagic E coli costs will be higher and further costs accrue for continuing support for survivors which involves dialysis among other costs Using the figure of 45.1% more likely to be hospitalised which is as good an actuarial study as any, this problem could be solved by health insurers if the government cared to do some horse trading with lobbyists. As it is without a will there is no solution and the purveyors and consumers will deserve whatever chance sends their way and the authorities can continue to whistle into the wind.

Today is World Food Safety Day! Did you know that there is currently no federal standardization for expiration dates? This is why lawmakers need to pass the Food Date Labeling Act. The Food Date Labeling Act would finally establish uniform requirements for quality and discard dates on food packaging. This law would also reduce the 7% of food waste that is generated due to consumer confusion over "best before" labels.
