Sales of unpasteurized milk authorization
This bill authorizes the sale of unpasteurized milk and unpasteurized butter in Minnesota by creating new regulatory standards. It directly affects dairy farmers who wish to sell these products, requiring them to obtain an unpasteurized milk producer permit from the state. Key provisions include mandatory biannual inspections of farms, annual testing for brucellosis and tuberculosis in herds (with immediate sales suspension if positive), and adherence to production standards from the Grade A Pasteurized Milk Ordinance - excluding pasteurization requirements. The bill also establishes fees for inspections and permits to fund state oversight.
