This legislative bill proposes changes to the laws concerning the sale of unpasteurized milk products in Minnesota. Here are the key points:

1. Definitions: The bill defines unpasteurized butter, unpasteurized milk, and unpasteurized milk producers, making it clear that these products are intended for direct sales to consumers and require specific permits.

2. Inspections: It mandates regular inspection services for producers of unpasteurized milk and butter to ensure they meet defined production and handling standards. Inspectors will help processors and producers understand and meet these requirements.

3. Rules and Standards: The bill sets standards for the production and processing of unpasteurized milk products and ensures they are consistent with some current health guidelines, excluding pasteurization requirements.

4. Permits and Fees: Producers selling unpasteurized milk and butter must have a permit, and they will be subjected to fees and regular inspections to ensure compliance with health standards. Testing for diseases like brucellosis and tuberculosis in dairy herds will be mandatory annually.

5. Reporting and Enforcement: Unpasteurized milk producers must report test results for bacteria, somatic cell count, temperature, and antibiotic residues periodically. If standards are not met consistently, the producer’s permit may be suspended.

6. Sales Limitations: Unpasteurized milk and butter can be sold directly to consumers at the farm, farmers' markets, or delivered directly to consumers. They must be clearly labeled as unpasteurized and carry a health risk warning.

Overall, the bill aims to regulate the sale of unpasteurized milk products while ensuring public health safety through stringent production, inspection, and labeling standards.
