Modifies provisions relating to the selling of raw milk, raw milk products, or cream
HB 1711 modifies state laws to allow the sale of raw milk and raw milk products like cream, butter, and cheese under specific conditions. The bill permits these unpasteurized items to be sold at grocery stores and farmers markets if they are clearly labeled with a health warning about potential bacterial risks to vulnerable groups. It also allows individuals to purchase raw milk directly from farms for their own use and requires bottlers to have their products inspected by the state milk board at least every three months. Additionally, dairy farms selling these products must maintain herds certified as free from tuberculosis and brucellosis by the USDA.
