Raw Milk Buyers Support Pa. Farm Targeted By Feds

Raw milk buyers in Washington and Maryland say they will challenge federal action being taken against a Pennsylvania farmer.

The Justice Department announced last week that it was seeking a court order against the owner of a Kinzers, Pa., farm, claiming the firm distributed unpasteurized milk across state lines for human consumption. The complaint was filed against Daniel L. Allgyer, owner of the Rainbow Acres Farm.

The federal Food and Drug Administration warns that raw milk can contain a wide variety of harmful bacteria including Listeria, E.coli, Salmonella, Campylobacter, Yersinia, and Brucella.
