HB 1594 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Raw milk; authorize individual sales and consumption of.

HB 1594 authorizes the direct sale of raw milk to individual consumers from the farm where it is produced, for consumption only and not for resale. It affects small-scale dairy producers who meet specific conditions: selling only on-site, labeling products as unprocessed/unpasteurized, and adhering to hygiene requirements (e.g., clean milking areas, sterile containers, and for goat milk, no more than nine goats). The bill mandates labeling warnings about raw milk risks and requires compliance with clean milking standards, including enclosed areas and fly control. It does not change pasteurization rules for commercial sales but legalizes incidental farm sales under these defined conditions.
