—A raw milk producer has continued selling products tied to multiple illness outbreaks while federal regulators have declined to intervene, according to an investigation. The farmer has profited despite documented evidence linking his products to sickened customers, exploiting a patchwork of state-level raw milk regulations and a hands-off federal posture. The case illustrates the limits of U.S. food safety enforcement in the raw dairy sector.
