Guest guest Posted March 20, 2002 Report Share Posted March 20, 2002 I'm feeling very stupid because I have read and read this statue and it does not make sense to me. Can someone help me translate this! What am I missing? It first says that a person cannot sell raw milk to consumers, restaurants, etc and then it says that an individual may purchase and have delivered to him, raw milk from a farm. Is the difference being that it is for " his own use " . His is the " final consumer " which the earlier part of the sentence says only pastueurized milk can be sold to the " final consumer " . Is the difference that you have to get it straight from the farm and not from a store? Help! Barb Here is the MO statue I'm referring to: State milk inspection required on all graded fluid milk or milk products--pasteurization required, exception. 196.935. No person shall sell, offer for sale, expose for sale, transport, or deliver any graded fluid milk or graded fluid milk products in this state unless the milk or milk products are graded and produced, transported, processed, manufactured, distributed, labeled and sold under state milk inspection and the same has also been produced or pasteurized as required by a regulation authorized by section 196.939 and under proper permits issued thereunder. Only pasteurized graded fluid milk and fluid milk products as defined in subdivision (3) of section 196.931 shall be sold to the final consumer, or to restaurants, soda fountains, grocery stores, or similar establishments; except an individual may purchase and have delivered to him for his own use raw milk or cream from a farm.

It looks pretty clear to me. The last sentence says that only pasteurized milk may be sold to consumers or retailers, with the exception that an individual may purchase raw milk directly from the farm. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp.

I don't know what section 196.939 says, and whether it makes any allowance for raw milk. But the real whammy re raw milk is in the second part. > and then it says that an individual may purchase and have delivered >to him, raw milk from a farm.

Note: " No person shall sell...any graded milk product...(unless they jump through our hoops). " So you could sell ungraded milk, right? Uh-uh: " Only pasteurized graded fluid milk...shall be sold (retail or wholesale). " EXCEPT (since we're nice guys) you can make a deal with a farmer. > Help! >Barb > >Here is the MO statue I'm referring to: > >State milk inspection required on all graded fluid milk or milk >products--pasteurization required, exception. >196.935.
