Raw milk praised as a "superfood" - experts warn of health risks

On social media and platforms like TikTok, raw milk is increasingly being celebrated as the new “superfood” – it is said to be richer in nutrients, more natural, and beneficial for health.

However, scientists, consumer advocates, and food safety authorities are sounding the alarm: untreated milk can contain dangerous germs such as salmonella, listeria, or E. coli, which can lead to serious illnesses – especially for pregnant women, children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems.

The health benefits of the raw milk trend are not proven, while the risks are real.

In our Tentamus laboratories, we regularly test milk and dairy products for germs, residues, and quality parameters. This ensures that consumers can enjoy safe and high-quality products. Our customer advisors are always available for any questions you may have.
