The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released the results of the second retail sampling survey of retail dairy products. The second sampling survey, coordinated with USDA for the analyses, tested 167 dairy products collected at retail locations for highly pathogenic avian influenza A (H5N1). No viable H5N1 virus was detected in the products.
The samples included pasteurized fluid milk and products made from pasteurized milk, such as pasteurized cheeses, cream cheese, butter, ice cream. The samples also included aged raw milk cheese, a product from milk that was not pasteurized.
Samples were processed and analyzed by a USDA-Agricultural Research Services (ARS) laboratory from June 18 to July 31.
