Raw milk is safe to drink in the UK.
Kinda, it's regulated because it can be so unsafe and even then you are kinda risking a bad time drinking raw milk. There is a reason we pasturise it.
Well, that's the point of regulations - to make food good and safe.
Yeah I understand but the regulations are basically to protect people from being exposed to it. So it's still unsafe but because it's so regulated you have to find sources for it and those sources have to prove they don't have sick cows to sell you raw milk I assume a lot of not safe milk gets through so I would argue that it isn't safe to drink raw milk ever no matter what unless you are a baby cow and even them it still might kill you.. they banned it in Scotland since its dangerous and you can't buy it in any markets anywhere in the uk
That logic can be applied to literally everything. You can't just sell random shit and say it's food. Not sure why you're arguing. The point is that raw milk is safe, food in the US is not.
it's better to word it as "raw milk CAN BE safe", not "is".
