Summary
The law creates a licensing system for anyone who produces or sells raw milk or raw‑milk products, and sets detailed safety standards such as temperature limits, veterinary care, monthly lab testing, and mandatory labeling. It also gives the state department authority to suspend permits, conduct inspections, and impose fines or cease‑and‑desist orders when standards are broken or a food‑borne illness outbreak is linked to raw milk. The changes replace an older raw‑milk statute and take effect on May 6 2026.
