HB 1711 -- SALE OF RAW MILK

SPONSOR: Schnelting

This bill allows for grade A retail raw milk, cream, and raw milk products produced in Missouri to be sold at grocery stores, farmers markets, or similar establishments as long as the milk is clearly labeled with the specified warning label.

The bill also specifies that no bottler or distributer of grade A retail raw milk can sell, transport or deliver the milk unless it has been inspected by the State Milk Board at least quarterly. Also, any dairy farm producing grade A retail raw milk must have its herd accredited or certified by the U.S. Department of Agriculture as tuberculosis-free and brucellosis-free.

This bill is similar to HB 78 (2023).
