Girl Nearly Dies From Raw Milk; State Spares Unlicensed Farmer
Original: A Girl Nearly Died After Drinking Raw Milk. The State Did Little to Punish the Unlicensed Farmer Who Sold It.
A California girl nearly died after drinking raw goat milk from an unlicensed farm, and state regulators took little punitive action despite evidence against the seller, according to a ProPublica investigation. The report says California is full of black-market dairies sustained by consumer demand and misinformation about raw milk's benefits. Critics are asking why enforcement was so weak when a child's life was put at risk.
Why now: A ProPublica investigation into a near-fatal case and weak state enforcement of raw milk laws is drawing attention to regulatory gaps and raw milk misinformation.
