Food: milk; definition of pasteurized milk ordinance; update. Amends sec. 6 of 2001 PA 266 (MCL 288.476).

This bill updates the legal definitions used in Michigan's Grade A Milk Law to align with the 2023 revision of the federal Pasteurized Milk Ordinance. By amending the statute, it clarifies terms such as "producer," "processor," and "retail food establishment" to ensure consistency with current industry standards. The changes also standardize definitions for equipment, sampling tools, and sanitary practices, providing clearer guidance for dairy farms, processing plants, and grocery stores. Ultimately, the legislation aims to modernize the regulatory framework without altering the core requirements for milk safety and quality.
