Interstate Raw Milk Sales: Removing Federal Restrictions on Unpasteurized Dairy.
This Act aims to stop federal agencies from interfering with the movement of unpasteurized milk and dairy products across state lines, provided both the originating and destination states permit its distribution. This change increases consumer choice for raw milk buyers and expands market access for farmers who produce these products. Federal restrictions based solely on the product being unpasteurized will be prohibited.
Key points
Federal agencies cannot prohibit or restrict the interstate transport of raw milk if both the origin and destination states allow its sale.
Increases consumer access to unpasteurized milk and dairy products in states where they are already legal.
State laws regarding labeling, warnings, and packaging of raw milk remain fully enforceable and must be followed.
The bill formally defines 'cowshare' arrangements as a legal method of distribution.
