CALIFORNIA RAW MILK NOT BANNED

Misleading email leaves consumers wondering

Jan 8, 2008

Dear CA Raw Milk Consumers and CA Raw Milk Stores,

A very misleading email was sent out recently by a raw milk consumer advocate implying that raw milk is now illegal in California. This is not true!

Raw milk is legally available in California, and has not been banned!

Please see Organic Pastures' News Archives for the latest in accurate information.

A new testing standard is being implemented over the next several weeks and months. Organic Pastures and Claravale, California's two commercial raw milk dairies, are engaged in that process and have meanwhile established three layers of protection to secure your continued access to their fresh and delicious raw milk.

These protections include:

1. A lawsuit filed on 12/27/07 to stop the enforcement of AB 1735.

2. Strong support and a clear political process to reverse AB 1735 starting in January.

3. Dialogue with CDFA and the Secretary of Agriculture with a promise that raw milk will not be banned by AB 1735 or any other means.

Your raw milk is not going away – it is growing with tremendous consumer interest and increasing demand! Please ignore any negative or misleading emails that detract from our raw milk mission and successes.

Most important: SPREAD THE WORD. Forward this email to your friends and ask them to sign up here for future raw milk updates.

Best Wishes for a Happy and Healthy New Year!
