Modifies provisions relating to the selling of raw milk, raw milk products, or cream
HB 1073 allows Missouri dairy farms to sell retail raw milk, cream, or raw milk products (like cheese or yogurt) under specific conditions. It requires clear health warnings on labels stating the product hasn’t been pasteurized and may contain harmful bacteria, and mandates annual tuberculosis and brucellosis testing for herds. Dairy farms selling these products must have "listed status" from the Raw Milk Institute. The bill does not change existing rules for pasteurized milk sales, which remain the standard for final consumers and businesses like grocery stores.
