In the US, because of unpasteurized foods, 840 times more people get sick than pasteurized ones, and 45 times more patients are in hospitals, respectively.

The study reported that in the US 760 cases of infection by infections due to raw milk were recorded, of which 22 people were eventually hospitalized.

Unpasteurized or raw milk and products made from it can be contaminated with several different bacteria that can cause food poisoning in humans, including salmonella, Listeria и Campylobacter. These bacteria can cause vomiting and diarrhea, but can also cause more serious diseases.

Bacterium Campylobacter can lead to Guillain-Barré Syndrome, a rare condition in which a person's immune system attacks its own peripheral nerves. Severe cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome are rare, but they can lead to near-total paralysis.

Listeria during pregnancy can lead to miscarriage, and people with severe listeriosis can die.

In the US, the sale of raw milk is prohibited in 19 states, in 31 there are rules that allow consumers to buy unpasteurized products. Some states allow the sale of raw milk in stores, others restrict the sale only to farmers' markets.

Although public health experts have long warned against consuming raw milk and cheeses made from it, the trend of consumption seems to be moving in the opposite direction.
