A "small but detectable quantity" of infectious H5N1 bird flu virus was able to survive a common approach to pasteurizing milk, according to new research co-authored by scientists at the National Institutes of Health.
The findings, published Friday in The New England Journal of Medicine, were based on experiments run at the agency's lab. The researchers note this is not the same as finding infectious H5N1 virus in milk from grocery stores.
So far, officials have not detected infectious virus in any supermarket milk samples.
