HEALTH/LDH: Provides relative to the regulation of food and food safety

The definition of 'milk' was updated to explicitly include goat, sheep, water buffalo, camel milk, and milk from other hooved animals.

New requirements mandate that state agencies, including public schools and universities, must purchase and serve milk and dairy products produced or processed in Louisiana if they are equal in quality and cost.

The previous blanket prohibition preventing any entity from manufacturing, processing, packaging, storing, or distributing non-lactational dairy protein products was removed.

Labeling requirements for non-lactational dairy protein products were retained but modified to require a fourteen-point font size instead of thirty-point type.

The Department of Health is now tasked with enforcing federal standards and the Pasteurized Milk Ordinance to prevent the sale of plant-based products mislabeled as milk.

The document header was updated from 'REENGROSSED' to 'ENROLLED', indicating the bill has passed both legislative chambers and is ready for the governor's signature.

Page count was reduced from 5 pages to 3 pages, likely due to the removal of redundant text and the consolidation of the effective date provisions.

The effective date section was consolidated into a single section, removing the separate sections that previously applied different effective dates to different parts of the act.

The definition of 'non-lactational protein product' was changed to 'non-lactational dairy protein product' to ensure the term explicitly references dairy, aligning the definition with the bill's focus on dairy products.

The document title was updated from 'ENGROSSED' to 'REENGROSSED' to reflect that the bill has been amended and passed again.
