Utah public health officials are investigating a few cases of sickness associated with raw or unpasteurized milk.
A few? Is there that many people in Utah?
So far, 45 cases of Campylobacter infection have been confirmed in people who had raw milk in the week they got sick.
Officials said the illness has been reported in Cache, Davis, Morgan, Salt Lake, Utah and Weber counties.
Two cases have also been confirmed in California and Idaho.
The first case of the infection was reported May 9.
The Utah Dept. of Health said all 45 cases are linked to raw milk or cream purchased at Ropelato Dairy in Weber County.
The Utah Dept. of Agriculture suspended the dairy’s license to sell raw milk on Aug. 4 after several tests were positive for Campylobacter.
Larry Lewis with the UDAF said the dairy has been very cooperative in working with the inspectors and it will be allowed to sell raw milk again as soon as it consistently passes safety tests.
