This bill amends the Oklahoma Milk and Milk Products Act to provide new provisions regarding the sale of ungraded raw milk and raw milk products. It exempts certain sales from the Act, allowing farmers and producers to sell ungraded raw milk directly to consumers either at the farm or through transport. The bill also increases the average monthly yield for incidental sales from 100 gallons to 1,500 gallons and permits advertising for ungraded raw milk and raw milk products. Additionally, it requires that containers of these products be labeled to indicate they are raw or unpasteurized and to disclose if they are not licensed, regulated, or inspected.
Furthermore, the bill repeals the existing requirement for a permit for the sale of ungraded raw milk or milk products, streamlining the process for farmers and producers. The changes aim to enhance the market for ungraded raw milk while ensuring consumer awareness through labeling. An emergency clause is included, allowing the bill to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
