AUSTRALIA: Authority warns against consumption of “cosmetic” milk - (NSW Food Authority)

October 23, 2007 – 8:56 pm

The Iemma Government has issued a warning for consumers not to drink raw or unpasteurised milk marketed as pet food or for “cosmetic” use as it is a potential health hazard, Primary Industries Minister Ian Macdonald said today.
Minister Macdonald said the NSW Food Authority had received complaints from the public that rogue retailers are selling deceptively labelled unpasteurised milk as a product fit for human consumption.
“To put it simply, any dairy products labelled as ‘pet food’ or ‘for cosmetic use’, have not been through the Food Authority’s stringent food safety management programs and I would urge consumers not to buy them,” Minister Macdonald said.
