Banned in: Canada, U.K. & parts of the United States
Reason: Health Concerns
Est. Global Sales: $3 billion per year in all milk sales*
There are countless places in the world where raw, or unpasteurized, milk is more commonly found than its pasteurized counterpart. And let me tell you, the health benefits it brings to the table are no joke. We’re talking about digestion and immune system enhancements thanks to those incredible probiotics and enzymes found within raw milk. But here’s the puzzler: If raw milk is so amazing, why on earth have some countries actually banned it? Well, my friend, it’s all because just like any other raw product, there’s always a chance of getting sick from pesky germs like Salmonella and Listeriosis. That’s why you’d be hard-pressed to find unpasteurized dairy products anywhere in Canada, the U.K., or almost all of the States. Safety first, right? So next time you’re pondering the boundary-pushing wonders of raw milk, remember the risks and how different countries handle it. Stay curious, stay safe!
