Berlin. (bfr) In summer farms are particularly population destinations for kindergarten groups and school classes. Sometimes, however, the excursion has unwanted consequences. The German Federal Institute of Risk Assessment (BfR) receives notifications time and time again of cases of illness caused by the consumption of raw milk during these outings. Raw milk may contain pathogens like EHEC bacteria or Campylobacter. The bacteria cause infections that can lead to serious damage to health especially in young children. Milk is a high quality food with many nutrients that children need to grow. However, «Raw milk should always be heated prior to consumption to avoid children contracting a food-borne infection», recommends the German BfR.
