Yes, good point, Roxanna. There's even milk being foisted on the public here in Austin by a very large "organic" dairy that uses what they've termed, "low heat pasteurization." When asked about it, it became clear that it was high enough to kill the enzymes in the raw, which is one of the most valuable reasons for eating/feeding raw products.
So, it's always Buyer Beware in the market place. There's a lot to watch out for, especially in the billion $$ "natural" food realm.
There's also a lot of fear about "germs." I speak to this in my Food Safety and Raw Meat page. If we think we need to pasteurize raw meat before we feed it, we've just lost most of its value!
