New Raw Milk Survey Results are Now Available

News Date July 19, 2011

NASDA recently issued a press release detailing raw milk regulations and sales data from all 50 states. This information is the result of a recent survey that is NASDA's third collection of such data since 2004. The new data reflects no change in the number of states permitting unpasteurized milk sales both on the farm and in retail markets and it shows the same 30 states allowing raw milk sales in 2011 as when data was last gathered in 2008. Likewise, the same 20 states still prohibit the sale of raw milk to consumers. Five states, however, have adopted stricter quality standards to regulate the sale of raw milk since the 2008 survey.
