To make it more clear, it's not typically fatal and many other foods cause higher levels of both sickness and fatalities. To get any number of fatalities you have to expand the timeline like 40 years. I'd consider that basically never. I've not seen anything claiming TB is a risk even in sources like the CDC and FDA. Maybe it is, but given the small numbers of illness I'd wager it's something localized or that effects people with serious underlying health complications.

> I've not seen anything claiming TB is a risk even in sources like the CDC and FDA You didn't look very hard then. This was after a ten second search [1]. From the article: > However, humans also can become infected, most commonly through consumption of unpasteurized milk products from infected cows. Also this from the NIH [2]: > Contamination of unpasteurized dairy products can occur by a variety of mechanisms: direct contact with bovine feces, transmission of the organisms from bovine skin/hide, bovine mastitis, primary bovine diseases (i.e., tuberculosis), and environmental contamination from insects, other animals, or humans (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2017a).
