Wisconsin, a land synonymous with cheese in America, has made some interesting legal progress with a new bill pertaining to raw milk, an ingredient in cheese which some may see as potentially harmful.
Some consider raw milk to be healthier for the human body than overly pasteurized alternatives, and those supporters may get their chance to make their point if this recent amendment makes it through the state’s senate.
It’s cleared the hurdle of a recent committee vote, and according to the Wisconsin State Journal could put the framework into practice that might make it possible for future cheesemaking decisions to be much easier.
The source indicates that the revisions include specific rules applying to the kind of milk used in cheese production and how it is treated, stored and transported before the cheese is put on the market. A Republican State Senator, Dale Schultz, expressed an interest in seeing discussions surrounding this issue grow as serious consideration of it increases.
“Hopefully we will find a way forward on this issue because it’s one area of the dairy industry that’s growing,” Schultz said.
As legal restrictions tighten around a certain kind of additive, the wording on relevant food labels may need to be more specific to maintain compliance with the available labeling laws. This could be essential to keep your product on the market and make it a success.
Customers, distributors and lawmakers might all appreciate a greater observation of rules once you start making labels on your own, so if raw milk is a concern, start addressing it specifically in your packaging to avoid any adverse consequences.
