The Food and Drug Administration, meanwhile, has detected genetic traces of H5N1 in roughly 20 percent of commercial milk samples. While commercial milk is still considered safe—pasteurization is expected to destroy the virus and early testing by the FDA and other federal scientists confirms that expectation—the finding suggests yet wider spread of the virus among the country’s milk-producing cows.
TLDR: Pasteurization kills the virus. Which is the point of pasteurization.
According to the FDA it’s most likely safe but can’t be confirmed until actual tests are done.
Do they not teach proper research where you live?
“Because H5N1 has only recently been found in cattle, no studies have directly tested milk pasteurization’s ability to kill the virus, the FDA said in a statement.”
While H5N1 is new and there are no specific tests, pastereuzed milk being tested for all kinds of pathogens has quite a history. There is no reason to assume that H5N1 behaves fundamentally different from any other virus shred by the methods employed.
Source that it’s harmless?

Pasteurization renders the virus non infectious. Do a search if you are interested.
