Raw milk CEO whose products have been recalled may lead US raw milk policy

Mark McAfee, whose products have been repeatedly contaminated with bird flu, asked by RJK Jr to apply for job

Mark McAfee, a California raw milk producer whose products have been recalled several times recently due to bird flu contamination, said he has been approached by Robert F Kennedy Jr's team to guide the upcoming administration on raw milk policy.

McAfee, whose dairy products were recalled after state officials detected bird flu virus in milk samples, said that the transition team for Kennedy, the nominee to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, asked him to apply for a position advising on raw milk policy and standards development. The idea, he told the Guardian, would be to create a raw milk ordinance", mirroring the existing federal standard milk ordinance".
