The USDA has mandated nationwide testing for bird flu virus in raw milk due to rising cases in California. This initiative, known as the National Milk Testing Strategy (NMTS), aims to identify herds infected with the avian flu virus. 718 cattle herds nationwide are known to be infected. A California dairy farm has expanded its recall of raw milk and cream after the virus was found in samples. Health officials urge consumers to avoid consuming raw farm products. The virus has infected 58 people in the US, with mild illnesses reported. Raw farm officials are working to restore raw milk supply.
