The Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund (FTCLDF) is considering taking action against the FDA on regulation 1240.61, the prohibition against raw milk for human consumption across state lines.
FTC is looking for plaintiffs, private citizens who wish to be listed in this complaint against the government. Specifically, they are looking for the following:
1. A citizen from state A (where it is illegal to buy/sell raw dairy) goes into state B to buy some raw dairy (where it is legal to buy/sell). Citizen then buys the dairy from a store or farm and takes it back to state A. Examples might be someone living in Reno, Nevada who goes across state lines to purchase raw milk in Reno, California, or someone living in New Jersey who goes to a farm in Pennsylvania to purchase raw milk and then take it home.
2. A citizen from state A (where it is legal to buy/sell) goes into neighboring state B (where it is also legal to buy/sell) and buys raw dairy from a store or farm (the closest store/farm is in state B) and takes it back to state A. For example, someone from Connecticut might go into Massachusetts to purchase raw milk.
3. A citizen from state A is a member of a cooperative located in state B. It is legal in state A to buy/sell but it is illegal to buy/sell in state B. The citizen goes to the cooperative in state B and picks up their raw dairy and takes it back to state A.
4. A citizen from state A is a member of a cooperative located in state B. It is illegal in state A to buy/sell but legal in state B to buy/sell. The citizen goes to the cooperative in state B and picks up their raw dairy and takes it back to state A.
5. A business owner is located in state A (where it is legal to buy/sell) and has customers that come from state B (where it is illegal). Customers from state B buy/sell raw dairy in state A and take it back to state b.
If you fit any of these categories and wish to participate in this lawsuit, please contact the FTCLDF at info@ftcldf.
Thank you!
