The U.S. Food and Drug Administration says that samples of pasteurized milk have tested positive for remnants of the bird flu virus that has infected dairy cows.

The agency stressed that the material is inactivated and that the findings "do not represent actual virus that may be a risk to consumers." Officials added that they're continuing to study the issue.

"To date, we have seen nothing that would change our assessment that the commercial milk supply is safe," the FDA said in a statement on Tuesday.

The announcement comes nearly a month after an avian influenza virus that has sickened millions of wild and commercial birds in recent years was detected in dairy cows in at least eight states. The Agriculture Department (USDA) says 33 herds have been affected to date.

So did my wife, but she stayed in her lane as a librarian because that's what she's an expert at. If Jenny McCarthy wanted to talk about how to make children laugh by making fart jokes while wearing a bikini and, for some reason people let her talk about that on TV, it would at least kind of make sense a little?

Agreed. It would’ve benefited the world had she followed Hardwick over to The Talking Dead instead of writing mom books. Just as long as she didn’t touch The Nerdist.
