Mark McAfee, the California raw milk producer who has been at the center of several bird flu-related product recalls, says a transition team for Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has encouraged him to apply for a position at the Food and Drug Administration. McAfee, CEO of Fresno-based Raw Farm, LLC, told The Times that he has complied with the request and applied for the position of 'FDA advisor on raw milk policy and standards development.
McAfee said he flew out to meet with raw milk dairy producers and helped them establish standards that incorporated training, testing and quality control. For instance, he noted one dairy farmer was cleaning his milk buckets with chlorine, which McAfee said does not address fats and biofilms. 'It was filthy,' he said. Instead, he showed the farmers how to clean their equipment with hot water and soap. 'You have to have standards,' he said.
