Permits sale of raw milk under certain conditions and establishes raw milk permit program.
New Jersey's S 3414 permits the sale of raw milk (unpasteurized milk) only through a state-issued permit program. The bill requires farms selling raw milk to meet strict quality standards, including bimonthly bacterial testing, no growth hormones, and cooling milk within two hours of milking. It mandates clear health warnings on all containers and signage stating raw milk "may contain organisms that cause human disease." The program, administered by the Department of Agriculture and Health, includes inspections, a permit fee, and revocation for repeated test failures. This directly affects dairy farms seeking to sell raw milk and consumers purchasing it at the farm of origin.
