In the UK, there are signs that raw milk is gaining popularity, particularly among younger consumers, according to farmers, as a less processed option.
As raw milk comes straight from the cow (or sheep or goat), it has not been pasteurised, the process of heating liquids to eliminate harmful pathogens and make them safe to drink.
Due to this, the Food Standards Agency warns that raw milk can cause food poisoning, posing particular risks to pregnant women, young children and people with weakened immune systems. As such, raw milk in the UK can only be sold directly to consumers by registered producers
With increased demand, the Modern Milkman has launched “brewed milk”, which involves using a lower-temperature pasteurisation process, heating milk to 68 °C for five minutes. The result, it claims, is a product that retains more flavour while still meeting safety requirements.
