U.S. States Consider Raw Milk Legislation

WBUR Boston Washington D.C. 14d14d Impact 3

More than 36 bills supporting the availability of unpasteurized raw milk have been introduced in state houses across the United States. Proponents are currently advocating for the product to be made more widely available. This movement occurs alongside a new E. coli outbreak affecting children in the country. Health officials have issued warnings that raw milk can contain potentially deadly germs. This legislative momentum occurs despite a recent E. Coli outbreak that sickened children in the U.S. Backers of raw milk have introduced over three dozen bills in state houses across the United States to increase availability of unpasteurized products. The movement is supported by social media influencers and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who cite freedom of choice and local food benefits.

David Schaffner, a food science professor at Rutgers University, is cited regarding the risks of microorganisms in unpasteurized milk.
