The epidemic prevention department does not recommend the purchase

Can I drink goat milk sold on the street with confidence? The reporter consulted disease prevention and control experts from the Prevention and Protection Unit of Zhangmutou Town People's Hospital. Experts said that although there are no additives in milk from goats, the quality cannot be guaranteed. If dairy goats are infected with diseases such as tuberculosis, mastitis, and foot-and-mouth disease, the milk is likely to contain pathogenic microorganisms, and people may become sick after drinking the milk.

Disease prevention and control experts say that simply heating at high temperatures does not guarantee the complete elimination of germs. Not only that, the sanitary conditions for milking on the street cannot be guaranteed.

Experts remind consumers that freshly squeezed goat milk has not been inspected and quarantined, and citizens cannot judge whether it is safe based on their senses alone. It is not recommended to buy freshly squeezed goat milk.
