One in six Australians are consuming raw cows’ milk despite it being illegal to sell in the country as a food.
Findings come from research commissioned by the Food Safety Information Council into the consumption of high-risk raw foods.
The survey was conducted online by Omnipoll in October with 1,229 people older than 18. Australian Food Safety Week runs from Nov. 7 to 14 with the theme “Raw food: Know the risk.”
