Right to Access Healthy Food in 9 States

"Last year brought a crackdown on raw milk and cheese sales in response to their increase in popularity with consumers. The FDA raids were conducted usually over small legal infractions regarding proper sales and labeling. [Click here for Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund news about] new bills being presented by nine different states that will clarify and in some cases expand opportunities for raw milk producers to share their goods.

This is a breath of fresh air after seeing the FDA team up with big-ag milk producers to squash people’s ability to access and consume truly nutritious products instead of continuing to rely on corporate produced dairy.

It’s wonderful progress to see such action to solidify these farmers’ rights and ability to provide safe and nutritious goods. Let’s hope it slows down the unnecessary raids and undue scrutiny so that raw food choice continues to grow in popularity and availability for consumers seeking healthier alternatives.
