Raw milk; allow the personal consumption and individual sale of.
SB 2284 allows Mississippi residents who own up to nine cows, goats, or sheep to use the milk from those animals for personal consumption and to sell raw milk directly to consumers from their farm. It permits "incidental sales" (not for institutions) under strict conditions: no advertising, mandatory risk warnings to buyers, clean milking environments, and use of sterile containers. The bill explicitly excludes public schools and state institutions from certain regulatory fees but maintains penalties for non-compliance (up to $100 fines). This amendment to existing dairy law clarifies that personal raw milk use and small-scale farm sales are legal, while preserving public health regulations for commercial operations. The bill died in committee in February 2026 and never became law.
