Samples of pasteurized milk have tested positive for remnants of avian flu, which has already felled more than 90 million birds, thousands of seals, and several cattle.
Government health officials insist that the dregs of bird flu in milk are inactive and that the findings do not indicate that milk on grocery store shelves is unsafe.
While they have maintained that the public need not be alarmed or throw out their milk, the escalating virus has shown no signs of stopping, and the fact that it has infiltrated mammals is worrisome to virologists.
The FDA said it believes the virus particles detected by comprehensive testing were probably leftovers from the pasteurization process.
The FDA said: ‘Pasteurization is a process that kills harmful bacteria and viruses by heating milk to a specific temperature for a set period of time to make milk safer.
