Milk automats spread to capital, spark health warning

Photo: CTK The first automated machine offering milk straight from the dairy to

the consumer made its debut in the Czech capital this week. The vending machines

allowing dairy farmers to sell direct to the public have spread to 60 sites

across the country since their Czech launch last autumn. The machines allow

farmers to get significantly better prices than if they sell to large processors

or to supermarkets even though every machine costs around 200,000 crowns. But

not everybody is welcoming the spread of the milk automats. Chief hygienist

Vít warned that the untreated milk should be boiled first. And he

highlighted a surge in upset stomachs where fresh milk sales are the strongest

because health warnings have been ignored.
