Health Tip: Avoid Raw Dairy Products

By Diana Kohnle, HealthDay Reporter


(HealthDay News) -- Raw milk and cheeses haven't been pasteurized, a process that eliminates harmful germs.


The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advises:



  • Consume only milk and cheese that have been pasteurized. If a label doesn't specify, it's best not to buy that product.

  • Store dairy products in the refrigerator at 40 degrees Fahrenheit or lower.

  • When dairy products expire, throw them out.

  • If you're buying unaged, fresh cheese, make sure it is made with pasteurized milk.
