Heat pasteurization of milk, which means heating the milk to a certain temperature for a prescribed length of time, kills the TB bacteria found in the milk and makes it safe for humans to drink.
Here's a somewhat longer article that to me backs up the idea: http://www.york.ca/Departments/Health+Services/Raw+Milk.htm
The pasteurization of milk was implemented specifically to destroy common pathogens found in raw milk and, secondarily, to give milk a longer shelf life by reducing the number of spoilage-causing organisms. Even under the strictest conditions, cows naturally carry certain disease-causing bacteria which may be passed to the milk that they produce, including Salmonella, Campylobacter, Listeria, Tuberculosis and E.coli 0157:H7.

I like the part where you left out what they were responding to.
The part where it was suggested to fine companies that allow bad code, which would be a motivation for the boss/client to allow the developers to slow down and write less code, more carefully.
Leaving that out makes your argument much stronger.
