Yes, a study a few weeks ago when the H5N1 was found in cattle in Texas showed a third of the virus had potentially survived the pasturisation process.

This studies method is different because in the USA study they tested the milk out of the industrial process where here they are mimicing it in the lab. Really what this UK study tells us is principally pasteurisation works, it does not however say the industrial process as practiced works which is what the USA study was looking at.

To be specific—based on my recollection—the previous study found viral fragments. It was unclear from that whether they were at all active.

This confirms that any remaining virus is not active after pasteurization.
