Why raw milk is banned in the US – BBC REEL

- HB 1669. 

- Texas House: Committee on Public Health.

In Texas, the sale of raw milk is not completely illegal, but it is heavily regulated. You can legally sell raw milk for personal consumption, but only under certain conditions:

Direct Farm Sales: Raw milk can be sold directly from the farm where it is produced to consumers. This means the milk cannot be sold in retail stores but can be sold on the farm or through a farm-to-consumer model.

Raw Milk for Pet Consumption: The sale of raw milk for animal consumption is legal as well.

However, the sale of raw milk for human consumption in stores or through distribution channels other than direct sales is not allowed under Texas state law. There are also regulations about labeling and ensuring that the milk is clearly identified as raw, given potential health risks.

In short, you can sell raw milk in Texas, but only in specific ways.
