Did you know that it is currently illegal to sell raw milk across state lines? The FDA’s ban on interstate raw milk harms small farms as well as informed consumers, who purposely seek out raw milk for its health benefits and superb taste.
Raw milk that is carefully and intentionally produced for direct human consumption is a low-risk food, and recent improvements in raw milk risk management methods and training have led to a significant reduction in raw milk-related illnesses and outbreaks.
Numerous scientific studies have shown that raw milk is correlated with decreased rates of asthma, allergies, eczema, otitis, fever, and respiratory infections. Raw milk consumption is also correlated with improved lung function and gut health.
It is time for the ban on interstate raw milk to be overturned. The Interstate Milk Freedom Act is a bipartisan bill that would prohibit federal interference with interstate transport of raw milk. Ask your representatives to support HR 5410.
