Some countries have complete bans, but many do not restrict the purchase of raw milk purchased directly from the farmer.

The Slovenian National Institute of Public Health points out that the consumption of fresh milk from a milk machine that is not heat treated (cooked) may pose a health risk. [57] 5.

The milk and dairy products made with this milk are then recontaminated. Constant contamination persists because bacteria survive in biofilms in treatment systems.

This method should be used in such a way that the moisture content of the treated milk does not change.
