Raw milk fans oppose new CALIFORNIA dairy standards - (Associated Press)
December 25, 2007 – 6:10 pmRaw milk consumers, according to this story, oppose new dairy standards set to take effect next month in California that they say could outlaw some of their preferred products.
The new law doesnt create an outright ban on raw milk, but producers believe it could dry up supplies by setting new bacteria limits they say are difficult to meet.
Mark McAfee, founder of Fresno-based Organic Pastures Dairy Company, the larger of two raw milk producers in California, was quoted as saying, “Theres quite a ruckus right now. This is a huge issue and it goes directly to consumer choice. Consumers are fed up with the government being in their kitchens and they want to be able to make their independent choices about food they want to eat.”
