Food: milk; sale of raw milk and raw milk products under the food law; allow. Amends secs. 1107, 1109 & 6140 of 2000 PA 92 (MCL 289.1107 et seq.) & adds secs. 4102a & 4102b. TIE BAR WITH: HB 5217'25, HB 5218'25
HB 5219 would allow direct farm-to-consumer sales of raw milk and raw milk products in Michigan by amending the Food Law. It defines "direct farm-to-consumer product" to explicitly include raw milk meeting requirements under the 2001 Manufacturing Milk Law, enabling farmers to sell these products directly to consumers on their property. The bill adds new sections (4102a and 4102b) to establish this sales pathway while maintaining existing pasteurization requirements for other sales. This change directly affects farmers producing raw milk and consumers purchasing it directly from farms, without altering commercial milk sales rules.
