This bill aims to eliminate all legal provisions related to raw milk, including its production, processing, labeling, and distribution. Specifically, it amends several sections of the Iowa Code by striking out paragraphs and subsections that pertain to raw milk and its products. Notably, it repeals Chapter 195, which previously allowed raw milk producers to operate under certain regulations, effectively removing any legal framework that supported the production and sale of raw milk in Iowa.

Additionally, the bill modifies existing regulations concerning the sale of milk and milk products by ensuring that only grade A pasteurized milk is sold to consumers, while also allowing for emergency exceptions where ungraded products may be sold under specific conditions. The overall effect of this legislation is to reinforce the prohibition of raw milk and its products, aligning state law with federal regulations that restrict the interstate commerce of unpasteurized milk.
