Louisiana public health officials investigated an outbreak of illnesses associated with consuming unpasteurized, raw milk. Cases were diagnosed with cryptosporidiosis and/or campylobacteriosis. A total of 11 cases were detected. Two were hospitalized. No one died.

The milk came from three different raw milk operations in the state, which officials did not identify.

Under Louisiana law, raw milk may only be sold or distributed for animal or pet consumption. The Louisiana Department of Health does not regulate the production of raw milk or raw milk products.
