This bill provides that federal departments, agencies, or courts must not prohibit, interfere with, regulate, or otherwise restrict the interstate traffic of unpasteurized milk or milk products packaged for direct human consumption if:

  • the action is based on a determination that, solely because the product is unpasteurized, it is adulterated, misbranded, or otherwise in violation of federal law;
  • the state of origin allows unpasteurized milk or milk products to be distributed for direct human consumption by any means;
  • the product is produced, packaged, and moved in compliance with the laws of the state of origin; and
