Usually, milk is sterile when secreted. It could be contaminated by bacteria before leaving the udder if the beast has had an infectious disease. Further infection of the milk can occur during milking the cow, improper handling, unsanitary storage, and after pasteurization. The ingestion of raw milk can cause diseases, such as tuberculosis, brucellosis, and typhoid fever. Yet, most Bacteria in milk are destroyed during pasteurization, and it is the main reason why we must never consume raw milk.
The outbreaks related to raw milk consumption are linked to Bacillus cereus, Listeria monocytogenes, Yersinia enterocolitica, Salmonella species, and Escherichia coli O157: H7. Molds, such as species of Aspergillus, Fusarium, and Penicillium, have the potential to grow in milk and dairy products.
