New tech called TruActive uses non-thermal UV light to make raw milk safe by eliminating pathogens without heating it. This means enzymes, proteins, and immune-boosting compounds stay intact—unlike traditional pasteurization, which can destroy them. While public health officials say pasteurization’s benefits outweigh risks and that healthy components aren’t reduced, advocates see this as a promising way to keep raw milk’s natural goodness. Developed by Tamarack Biotics in Fresno, CA.
