FactCheck.org explains that USDA confirmed H5N1 in US dairy cattle in March 2024 and that FDA detected viral genetic material in commercial milk. It notes that pasteurization inactivates the virus, and that 36 herds were affected by early May 2024, with human cases confirmed among dairy and poultry workers.
The FDA says the commercial milk supply is safe, so consumer demand effects are likely limited. Infections in herds are a supply concern for milk but are not yet large enough to shift prices on their own.
