Minnesota dairy farms will start getting their raw cow milk tested for H5N1, also known as bird flu, by the Department of Agriculture. According to experts there’s no concern for the safety of the public milk supply.
“Pasteurization kills the influenza virus in milk, and so the milk that is in the stores we can be really confident in the safety of that milk.

Starting Monday dairy farmers will have their normal monthly sample also tested for the virus.
