Rep. Dave Zimmerman (R-Lancaster/Berks) has introduced a bill that seeks to expand the range of raw milk products farmers can sell under a raw milk permit. As per the current Pennsylvania law, only raw milk and raw milk hard cheese are allowed to be sold with the appropriate permits. However, Zimmerman's proposed legislation aims to broaden this scope.
Zimmerman said, “We are seeing an ever-increasing consumer demand for organic and natural food products, including raw milk and raw milk products. People want foods with less processing and fewer chemicals. This legislation would allow for greater access to such products without compromising any of the raw milk safety standards set by the Department of Agriculture.”
The bill, House Bill 2293, is expected to be forwarded to the House Agriculture Committee for consideration.
