Nick Haddow courts danger with real risky food

About raw cheese:

"I'm all for raw milk cheese in Australia, but first and foremost we need to ensure safe cheese is made, whether it's made from raw or pasteurised milk. That's a given to me," Haddow says. "How we do that, whether it's raw or pasteurised milk cheese, is secondary.

"The reality is that safe cheese can be made from unpasteurised milk and it is made from unpasteurised milk. The flip side is that unsafe cheese can and does get made from pasteurised milk, so to me it's not an argument about flavour, or raw v pasteurised ... you can get to that goal (of safety) a variety of ways."

According to Australian cheese authority Will Studd, challenging the status quo on dairy regulations is a "brave move" for any producer because of the risk that local state dairy authorities will find reasons to make life difficult.
