Utah's existing raw milk law is repealed and replaced by this bill, which creates a comprehensive new regulatory framework for the production and sale of unpasteurized (raw) milk and raw milk products. Anyone who produces or sells raw milk — including farms and retail locations — must register annually with the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food, maintain veterinary care records, keep milk chilled to 41 degrees Fahrenheit or below, use tamper-resistant containers, and comply with strict bacteria and pathogen limits. All raw milk containers and point-of-sale displays must carry specific warning labels, and raw milk may not be sold through restaurants, food service establishments, or under the state's homemade food law. If a producer or market is linked to a foodborne illness outbreak, the department can issue cease-and-desist orders and escalating fines up to $10,000, with a potential one-year suspension of operations for repeat violations.
