The FDA announced Monday it has begun collecting samples of aged raw cow's milk cheese to test for bird flu as the U.S. battles an outbreak of the virus.

With concern over the bird flu continuing to mount across the country, one Inland Empire man says that his beloved pets fell victim to the virus after drinking contaminated raw milk.

California health officials warned the public to avoid drinking one batch of whole raw milk from Raw Farm, which has issued a voluntary recall.
