Nearly two dozen people have developed food poisoning in Florida after consuming tainted raw milk from the same farm, according to the state’s Department of Health.

Florida officials didn’t initially name the milk producer about the outbreak, but later issued a news release linking the infections to Keely Farms Dairy in New Smyrna Beach.

The health department also clarified that the first infections were reported in January 2025.

The state’s bulletin on the cases didn’t explicitly warn people not to drink raw milk. Instead, it said it was providing information on the outbreak to help residents make informed decisions about their health.

“Residents and visitors should be aware that there are known risks association with human consumption of raw milk,” said Press Secretary Isabel Kilman, in an emailed statement.

US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has said he is a fan of raw milk. In May, he recorded an interview with a wellness influencer, which ended with the two doing shooters of raw milk in the White House.

The CDC says pasteurised milk offers the same nutritional benefit without the risks of raw milk. The agency encourages consumers to choose pasteurised milk and dairy products.
