Raw Milk Bill Filed in Missouri

Missouri citizens, this bill needs your support.

State Representative Belinda Harris (D-Hillsboro) has filed a bill (HB 1901) to clarify a statutory exception to the general requirement that all milk and cream sold in Missouri be pasteurized. Under the exception, consumers can buy raw milk and cream at the farm and through delivery. The state Milk Board sent letters to at least a six farmers last year claiming that those selling under the exception must obtain a permit from the Milk Board before doing so. Rep. Harris' bill makes clear that those selling under the exception do not need a permit.
Help Rep. Harris to uphold food-freedom of choice and small-farm prosperity by contacting your state representative and the members of the two committees, encouraging them to co-sponsor the bill. Written letters of a page or less are the most effective way to communicate with your representative. If sending emails, be sure to include your name, address and phone number (representatives like to know who is in their district).

Follow this link to find your state representative using your zip+4 code:

Below are links to the contact information for each member of the two committees.
Be sure to contact members of the committes to ask that they see this bill gets out of committee for a vote.
