Raw milk

Milk that has not undergone pasteurization to eliminate harmful bacteria. Advocates claim it retains more nutrients and beneficial enzymes compared to pasteurized milk, but it poses significant health risks due to potential contamination with pathogens like E. coli, Salmonella, and Listeria. Raw milk is often sought by individuals who prefer its taste and texture or use it in artisanal dairy products, though its sale is heavily regulated in many regions.
