Can you believe it! Caution: sarcasm!
If the avian flu virus was able to survive pasteurization, then the current world population would well below 8 billion.
"“But even without full pasteurization, those subpasteurization temperatures are efficient in inactivating the virus,” said Diel, senior author of the studies. “This research provides an alternative for the artisan cheese industry to treat the milk prior to making the cheese.”
Previous studies had cast some doubt that the pasteurization process inactivated HPAI H5N1, but Diel said the tools used in those studies may have inaccurately measured the temperature of the milk. The Cornell team validated the temperature with a submerged coil system developed by Martin’s lab. The new results also corroborated tests conducted by the FDA and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) using commercial-scale pasteurizers. ..."
