Zusammenfassung:	The aim of this report is to emphasize the risk of acquiring TBE by the consumption of raw milk and dairy products. In April–May 2015, we registered the first outbreak of tick-borne encephalitis in Croatia in seven members out of ten exposed persons who consumed raw goat milk or cheese from the same supplier. Infection was confirmed by TBEV enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in all patients. None had been vaccinated nor had observed a tick bite.
