The bill amends section 4.1-25-40.1 of the North Dakota Century Code to expand the regulations surrounding the sale of raw milk by allowing farms to sell not only raw milk but also raw milk products directly to consumers for personal consumption within the state. It prohibits the sale of these products to wholesalers or retail stores for mass consumption and clarifies that such sales cannot involve interstate commerce. Additionally, it specifies that raw milk or raw milk products cannot be donated.
Furthermore, the bill introduces a labeling requirement, mandating that any raw milk or raw milk products sold by farms must be labeled as "raw milk" or "made with raw milk." The amendment also states that farms selling these products are exempt from other provisions of various chapters and titles related to food safety and sales regulations. The language of the bill reflects a clear intent to regulate the sale of raw milk and its products while ensuring consumer awareness through proper labeling.
