Usually I find it by the produce section. As far as pasteurized, there
was a case where children died/became very sick because some
natural cider company wound up using apples that had fallen to the
ground, therefore picking up salmonella poisoning from deer droppings
or whatever.

I have no idea if I'm able to buy unpasteurized, I'm assuming no as
I do live in the no-runny-eggs rare-burgers state.
