Salmonella-contaminated dry pet food sickened at least 79 people, including many young children, in October and November.

"Because foods of animal origin may be contaminated with Salmonella, people should not eat raw or undercooked eggs, poultry, or meat. Persons also should not consume raw or unpasteurized milk or other dairy products. Produce should be thoroughly washed," he said.

like this.  Salmonella requires bad handling. Normally it's on the external of the product, and in the case of milk, in (it's a liquid).   99% of the time, a person puts feces (for some reason, in fruits/veggies it's dirty water used to wash them) on/in your food.  No crap = no Salmonella.  Could also be bad handling of the food @ the consumers end (WASH YOUR HANDS).

I've been drinking raw milk for ~a decade, eating raw eggs for ~2 decades & have have rare beef for ~2 decades.  I've never gotten Salmonella.

I'm reminded of what grandpa always said:

"Don't shit where you eat."
