Raw milk is legal for retail sale within California , which is the nation’s largest dairy producer and has had over 500 herds infected with bird flu.

Raw milk supporters say it contains more enzymes, probiotics (or the "good bacteria"), proteins and vitamins than pasteurized milk.

Pathogens in raw milk can cause diarrhea, stomach cramps, vomiting and fever.

Raw Farm CEO and founder Mark McAfee questioned why California officials were asking him to pull his products from shelves.

Raw milk has been in the spotlight lately because of bird flu, but also because Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a strong proponent of raw milk.

Milk samples test positive for bird flu long before cows show symptoms, experts say.

Raw milk can contain bacteria that make people sick, the FDA said in its warning.
