Public Health Trace has 307 outbreak investigations and 877 recalls linked to Milk, reported by CDC, FDA, and USDA.
Safe-handling guidance for milk should come from an authoritative source such as FoodSafety.gov, not this page - Public Health Trace summarizes recall and outbreak records, it does not publish handling advice itself.
Food-to-recall linking is still in progress
This page prioritizes outbreak investigations, which are reliably linked to Milk. Recall records aren't yet reliably matched to specific foods, so the recall section further down may be incomplete even when Milk has real recalls on record.
