SB 1054 Michigan Senate · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Food: milk; human breast milk banks, companies, and cooperatives; regulate. Creates new act. TIE BAR WITH: SB 1055'24

This bill establishes new regulations for human breast milk banks, hospitals, and companies in Michigan to ensure the safety and quality of milk provided to infants. It requires these entities to follow specific standards for processing, storing, and distributing milk, while also mandating health screenings for donors who provide milk for others. The legislation clarifies that providing breast milk for infant consumption is a service rather than a sale, but it prohibits the online sale of raw breast milk for valuable consideration. Violations of these rules, such as providing contaminated or unprocessed milk, can result in civil fines or criminal penalties depending on the severity of the harm caused.
