Ballerina Farm halts raw milk sales after bacteria detection

Ballerina Farm has paused raw milk sales due to bacteria found in its products. Coliform bacteria, including E. coli, were detected in May and June 2025 milk. The company stated it learned about necessary infrastructure planning for raw milk production after starting sales. This pause follows a newborn's death from Listeria linked to raw milk consumption and recent bird flu detections in raw milk products. Health officials warn raw milk poses risks due to lack of pasteurization.
