In the US, the FDA has banned sale of unpasteurized milk, but that only affects stuff that crosses state lines; they don't have authority to ban within a state. Some states allow sale of unpasteurized milk -- stuff gets produced and sold in the state.

Idaho and New Mexico, both affected states, permit sale of unpasteurized milk directly in stores.
And this doesn't just affect some person who is absolutely determined to disregard health advisories and drink raw milk in those states. If the virus jumps to humans there and begins human-to-human transmission off one of them, the whole world can potentially be impacted.
I mean, with COVID-19, we spent a lot of time early-on dinging China for having wet markets that helped create risk for disease jumping animal-human barriers. This is also not good.
And you know the same mouth-breathers who rejected all factually accurate information about COVID-19 and vaccines will just refer to this as the next "plandemic" and pretend viruses aren't real. Some will go out of their way to visit farms and drink milk straight from the cow's udder just to "prove" there's nothing to worry about.
"Election year plandemic"
I can already hear the cries of "99.7% survival rate!" and "Give me hydroxychloroquine or (and) give me death!"
I don’t know if it’s widespread or not, but at least in Virginia they wouldn’t stop you from drinking raw milk from “your own cow” so you could buy “shares” of a cow allowing you to have some percentage of the cows raw milk output.
Yeah, they talk about it in the WP article I linked to -- that's a "herdshare". That's also an issue, but at least the barrier is somewhat higher than just cruising down to the grocery store. You gotta be more of a True Believer and go out of your way to take part in one of those.
