The bill amends the Manufacturing Milk Law of 2001 by updating Section 157, which pertains to the grading of butter. It introduces new legal language stating that only a grader approved by the department shall grade butter, and it specifies that the standards for grading will align with those described in 7 CFR part 58.
Additionally, the bill clarifies the definition of "grading" to encompass the classification of butter based on various factors, including flavor, aroma, body and texture, color, salt, package, and any other factors that may be approved by the department. The amendments remove outdated language regarding the grading process and streamline the terminology used in the law.
