Raw milk that has not been pasteurized or homogenized can harbor harmful germs.

The American Academy of Pediatrics offers these recommendations to parents:

• Never give raw milk or dairy products that contain raw milk to children.
• Check product labels to make sure they use pasteurized milk.
• Store pasteurized dairy products in the refrigerator at a temperature of 40 degrees Fahrenheit or lower.
• Throw away any dairy products with expired “best by” dates.
