Aviva’s insurance expires November 1, which has left them with little time to try to find a solution for the 40 foster families and the children in their care. “The last thing that we need for these kids that have experienced trauma, that have experienced abuse, is for them to continue to get churned through the child welfare system and move from home to home to home,” said Amber Rivas, Aviva’s president and CEO.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Agencies have three options — try to find a new insurer, transfer the families to another agency that doesn’t have NIAC insurance or transfer them to the county. But there are challenges with each of these options. About 1,800 children are served through these agencies in the county, and up to 600 children could be affected within the next two months, according to county officials.

Aviva’s insurance expires November 1, which has left them with little time to try to find a solution for the 40 foster families and the children in their care. “The last thing that we need for these kids that have experienced trauma, that have experienced abuse, is for them to continue to get churned through the child welfare system and move from home to home to home,” said Amber Rivas, Aviva’s president and CEO.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Agencies have three options — try to find a new insurer, transfer the families to another agency that doesn’t have NIAC insurance or transfer them to the county. But there are challenges with each of these options. About 1,800 children are served through these agencies in the county, and up to 600 children could be affected within the next two months, according to county officials. But because of the insurance crisis, not all agencies are deciding to keep their doors open.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"routes-Site-routes-Post-Title-__Title__title\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12007854/california-bird-flu-2-more-human-cases-confirmed-in-central-valley-cattle-farms\">\u003cstrong>California Bird Flu: 2 Human Cases Confirmed In Central Valley\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Two dairy workers in California were infected with \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/hub/bird-flu\">bird flu\u003c/a>, the 15th and 16th human cases detected this year in an ongoing outbreak affecting the nation’s dairy cows, health officials said Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Four of the people with salmonella were also infected with campylobacter and/or dangerous E. coli bacteria, the documents said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly 40% of illnesses were reported in children younger than 5, officials said. Twenty people were hospitalized. No deaths were reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California health officials said Wednesday that they had conducted a “robust” investigation in partnership with local teams and state agriculture officials and that they notified the public about the outbreak through the October recall notice and social media posts in October, November and December. The outbreak ended May 4, officials said. It’s not clear whether more cases were reported after February.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mark McAfee, owner of Raw Farm, acknowledged that his products were part of the outbreak. He said that a single cow was infected with salmonella last fall and later removed from the herd. He said he put additional testing protocols in place in response to the outbreak.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

They show that raw milk products account for a small fraction of overall dairy sales. About 4,100 units of raw cow’s milk and about 43,000 units of raw milk cheese were sold the week of May 5, for instance, according to NielsenIQ. That compares with about 66.5 million units of pasteurized cow’s milk and about 62 million units of pasteurized cheese.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, testimonies about raw milk are trending on social media sites. And Mark McAfee, owner of Raw Farm USA in Fresno, California, said he can’t keep his unpasteurized products in stock.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People are seeking raw milk like crazy,” he said, noting that no bird flu has been detected in his herds or in California. “Anything that the FDA tells our customers to do, they do the opposite.”[aside postID=news_11970666 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/GettyImages-1408473939-1020x680.jpg']The surge surprises Donald Schaffner, a Rutgers University food science professor who called the trend “absolutely stunning.”\u003cbr>\n“Food safety experts like me are just simply left shaking their heads,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From 1998 to 2018, the CDC documented more than 200 illness outbreaks traced to raw milk, which sickened more than 2,600 people and hospitalized more than 225.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Raw milk is far more likely than pasteurized milk to cause illnesses and hospitalizations linked to dangerous bacteria such as campylobacter, listeria, salmonella and E. coli, research shows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before milk standards were adopted in 1924, about 25% of foodborne illnesses in the U.S. were related to dairy consumption, said Alex O’Brien, safety and quality coordinator for the Center for Dairy Research. Now, dairy products account for about 1% of such illnesses, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I liken drinking raw milk to playing Russian roulette,” O’Brien said. The more times people consume it, the greater the chance they’ll get sick, he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the risks, about 4.4% of U.S. adults — nearly 11 million people — report that they drink raw milk at least once each year and about 1% said they consume it each week, according to a 2022 FDA study.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bonni Gilley, 75, of Fresno, said she has raised generations of her family on raw milk and unpasteurized cream and butter because she believes “it’s so healthy” and lacks additives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reports of bird flu in dairy cattle have not made her think twice about drinking raw milk, Gilley said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If anything, it is accelerating my thoughts about raw milk,” she said, partly because she doesn’t trust government officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Such views are part of a larger problem of government mistrust and a rejection of expertise, said Matthew Motta, who studies health misinformation at Boston University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not that people are stupid or ignorant or that they don’t know what the science is,” he said. “They’re motivated to reject it on the basis of partisanship, their political ideology, their religion, their cultural values.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CDC and FDA officials didn’t respond to questions about the rising popularity of raw milk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Motta suggested that the agencies should push back with social media posts extolling the health effects of pasteurized milk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Communicators need to make an effort to understand why people consume raw milk and try to meet them where they are,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",
