House Bill No. 1162, known as the "Real Access to Whole Milk Act of 2025," aims to amend the Oklahoma Milk and Milk Products Act by introducing new regulations regarding the sale of milk and milk products. The bill establishes that selling milk or milk products without a valid permit is a violation of the law. It specifies that incidental sales of raw milk directly to consumers at the farm are permissible, provided that the average monthly sales do not exceed 500 gallons. Additionally, the bill allows for the advertising of incidental sales of goat milk and permits farmers to make cheese using their own milk or cream.
The bill also includes several amendments to existing sections of the Oklahoma Milk and Milk Products Act. Notably, it clarifies that no person may produce, haul, process, distribute, or sell ungraded raw milk or milk products without the appropriate permit. The language of the bill emphasizes the importance of maintaining proper standards and permits in the dairy industry, thereby enhancing food safety and regulatory compliance. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
