Concerns about possible transmission to people drinking unpasteurized milk are being talked about a lot. Apparently they fed mice unpasteurized milk, and they got the virus, but it seems like the temperature required to kill. The virus is higher than what they used to sterilize the milk. How is this safe?

Dairy processing plant worker here. Standard pasteurization is 145° for 30 minutes, hot and long enough to kill every virus and bacteria. Even if something went wrong and it didn’t work, we still take samples and test each batch in our lab before it’s bottled.
