The Weston Worth Basis has responded with this essential Motion Alert.
On June 6, the FDA wrote to all state public well being and agriculture businesses advising them on the necessity to “collectively work to deal with new developments associated to the presence of Excessive Pathogenic Avian Influenza A H5N1 (HPAI H5N1) in dairy cattle.”
Though admitting that “. . . we have no idea right now if the HPAI H5N1 virus will be transmitted to people by consumption of uncooked milk and merchandise comprised of uncooked milk from contaminated cows,” the company recommends that well being and agriculture departments “Distribute messaging to the general public concerning the well being dangers of consuming uncooked milk and uncooked milk merchandise” and “[i]mplement a surveillance testing program in your state to determine the presence of HPAI H5N1 virus in dairy herds that may be engaged in producing uncooked milk for intrastate saleThe FDA and USDA will present “technical help” in sampling and testing.
Their motive is clearly acknowledged: “For states that let the sale of uncooked milk inside their state, use regulatory authorities or implement different measures, as applicable, to cease the sale of uncooked milk which will current a danger to shoppers.”
We are able to assume from this memo that uncooked milk farmers will likely be receiving visits from officers wanting to check their milk for a non-existent virus utilizing a bogus testing methodology, simply as they’ve finished for flocks of chickens.
Thankfully, some hen farmers have averted this testing and prevented the slaughter of their animals by insisting that inspectors fill out two questionnaires.
- Inspector Data type to acquire the names and phone data of these visiting their farm (beneath).
- Questionnaire for Inspector, which asks for proof of profitable isolation of the chook flu virus, proof of contagious nature of the chook flu virus, sort of check that will likely be used and phone data of the lab that will likely be doing the testing (beneath).
Clearly, no inspector will be capable to present the data requested on the shape, data that’s the farmer’s proper to have. The hope is that they’ll depart and by no means come again–as they’ve with astute hen farmers.
ACTION TO TAKE: Please share these kinds together with your uncooked milk producer. We hope that these measures will stop the FDA’s deliberate shutdown of uncooked milk farmers.
Sincerely yours,
Sally Fallon Morell, President
The Weston A. Worth Basis
