The bill amends Iowa's Code regarding the distribution of raw milk and associated products by introducing new definitions and expanding the locations where raw milk can be distributed. It adds definitions for "distribution point," "farmers market," and "grocery store," allowing raw milk producers to distribute their products at these locations. Additionally, the bill modifies the language in Section 195.5 to clarify that raw milk producers may market or distribute raw milk and related products directly to individuals at these distribution points.

Furthermore, the bill revises the existing restrictions on the distribution of raw milk. It eliminates the requirement that raw milk can only be consumed by the individual who ordered it and their household, thus allowing for broader distribution. The requirement for recent test results to be posted at distribution points has been removed, but producers must still provide health records upon request. Lastly, the bill mandates that containers used for raw milk distribution must be sanitized, ensuring compliance with health standards.
