Raw Milk Panel Discussion: Should New Jersey Farmers be Permitted to Distribute Local Fresh Unpasteurized Milk?
Raw milk comes straight from the animal and does not undergo any further processing before human consumption. It is not allowed for sale in New Jersey or the nearby states of Delaware and Maryland. Other states including New York, Vermont and Massachusetts allow farms sales of raw milk. Ten states currently allow the sale of raw milk at the retail level including Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and California. What are the pros and cons of raw milk, and why is there so much disparity across the States and over the allowance of raw milk sales? Learn the nitty-gritty details during this lively dialogue between a panel of food safety experts and raw milk aficionados.
