Melbourne toddler dies, 4 kids sick after drinking raw cow's milk
Online Edition
ONE child has died and another four fell seriously ill after drinking dangerous raw milk sold in health stores as "cosmetic milk" for bathing in, Daily Mail reported today.
Unpasteurised cow's milk has been banned in Australia for more than 70 years but manufacturers can sell it as a cosmetic product rather than food, the report said.
A three-year-old, from Mornington Peninsula - south-east of Melbourne, allegedly recently died after drinking Mountain View Organic Bath Milk, the Herald Sun reports.
The product is advertised on the family-run company's website as "amazing fresh 'raw bath milk'… dropped off to the farm store every Thursday for pick up".
Mountain View Farm owner Vicki Jones said the company always advised people not to drink the product, according to the report.
Meanwhile, four children from Melbourne, aged one to four, have been struck down with serious illnesses such as gastroenteritis after drinking different brands of raw milk, the report said.
