Ballerina Farm, the venture of social media influencers Hannah and Daniel Neeleman, has taken a step back from selling its famously raw milk after a routine health inspection raised some serious concerns. Health inspectors discovered high levels of coliform bacteria in late May and early June, prompting the farm to halt sales for the foreseeable future. This decision shifts the farm’s focus to pasteurized milk, which is a safer alternative for consumers.
The revelations come at a time when Hannah has been a vocal advocate for the benefits of raw milk in her beauty and wellness routines. What’s intriguing here is that even as she claims raw milk’s magic, the potential health risks—like E. coli and Salmonella—are all too real. As they plan to eventually launch a second dairy for raw milk production, one can’t help but wonder if the couple has learned that not all trends are worth chasing, especially when health is on the line. What’s your take on the raw milk debate?
