HB 78 -- SALE OF RAW MILK
SPONSOR: Kelley (127)
This bill allows for grade A retail raw milk or cream produced in Missouri to be sold at grocery stores, restaurants, soda fountains, or similar establishments as long as the milk is clearly labeled with the specified warning label. If the milk or cream is sold in a manner that does not allow the final consumer to see the label, it must be clearly presented to the consumer through a written notice.
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 the same as HB 1977 (2022).
