SB 2007 Mississippi Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Raw milk; allow the personal consumption and individual sale of.

SB 2007 allows Mississippi residents to use raw milk from their own cows, goats, or sheep for personal consumption or use, and permits limited farm-to-consumer sales of raw milk under specific conditions. It directly affects small-scale farm owners who raise up to nine dairy animals, requiring sales to occur on the farm premises with no advertising, clear risk warnings to buyers, and strict hygiene practices (e.g., clean milking areas, sterile containers). The bill clarifies that incidental sales (up to nine animals) are legal but does not change requirements for commercial pasteurized milk sales. It also explicitly permits storing raw milk separately from pasteurized milk and requires the Cooperative Extension Service to provide safety guidelines. This is a policy change focused on expanding personal and small-scale raw milk access while maintaining public health safeguards.
