Proposal Legalizing Raw Milk Sales In Iowa Approved By House

(Des Moines, IA) — Raw milk sales would be legal in Iowa under a proposal passed in the House. The bill outlines requirements for raw milk producers, such as maintaining records of the drugs administered to dairy animals and the bacteria count in the milk. The measure also requires the producer test the milk’s bacteria count every month and have a licensed veterinarian examine the animal’s health status every year.
