A newborn baby in New Mexico<\/a> died from a Listeria infection likely tied to the mother drinking raw milk while pregnant, according to state health officials.<\/p>\n

The New Mexico Department of Health issued a warning Tuesday urging people to avoid consuming raw dairy products following the newborn\u2019s death. Health officials believe the “most likely” source of infection was the mother drinking unpasteurized milk during pregnancy.<\/p>\n

While investigators said they could not determine the exact cause, they said the “tragic death underscores the serious risks raw dairy poses to pregnant women, young children, elderly New Mexicans and anyone with a weakened immune system.”<\/p>\n

Raw milk has seen a surge in popularity amid the Make America Healthy Again movement led by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.<\/a><\/p>\n

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a regulation<\/a> decades ago prohibiting the interstate sale of raw milk, but the drink is not federally banned, leaving individual states to decide whether it’s safe for human consumption.<\/p>\n

“Individuals who are pregnant should only consume pasteurized milk products<\/a> to help prevent illnesses and deaths in newborns,” Dr. Chad Smelser, deputy state epidemiologist for the New Mexico Department of Health said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Raw milk has not been pasteurized \u2014 a process that heats milk to remove disease-causing germs.<\/p>\n

Consuming food or beverages made from raw milk can expose people to Campylobacter, Cryptosporidium, E. coli, Listeria, Brucella and Salmonella, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).<\/p>\n

Listeria is the third leading cause of death from foodborne illness<\/a> in the U.S., infecting about 1,250 people and causing roughly 172 deaths each year, according to the CDC.<\/p>\n

The CDC notes that certain groups of people, including children under the age of 5<\/a>, adults over 65, pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems, have a higher risk of serious illness.<\/p>\n

“New Mexico\u2019s dairy producers work hard to provide safe, wholesome products and pasteurization is a vital part of that process,” Jeff M. Witte, New Mexico secretary of agriculture, said in a statement. “Consumers, particularly those at higher risk, are encouraged to choose pasteurized dairy products to reduce the risk of serious foodborne illness.”<\/p>\n

Last August, an outbreak of E. coli and Campylobacter<\/a> linked to raw milk from a Florida farm sickened 21 people, including six children.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
