Milk products: pasteurization: goat milk.

Existing law requires that all market milk and market milk products, and all milk for manufacturing purposes and manufactured milk products, be pasteurized at the plant where those products are processed and packaged. This provision does not apply to certain products, including licensed milk products plants that are used exclusively for the preparation of ice cream and other, specified milk products. This bill would additionally exempt from the above provision goat milk cheese produced at a licensed milk products plant that is manufactured from curds made from goat milk that has been pasteurized, ultrapasteurized, or aseptically processed at certain milk products plants. The bill would also make a technical change by deleting an obsolete provision.
