Talking Points

  • We were never given a hearing to voice our position and/or give the science on raw milk during the AB 1735 process.
  • Raw milk exceeds the standards for pasteurized milk. It is already safe.
  • Not one pathogen has ever been found in raw milk from OPDC or Claravale products, and this goes back to 1927. 
  • The coliform testing standards in AB 1735 will stop raw milk availability in CA in the future.
     
    Ask them to support emergency repeal of AB 1735 anti raw milk language. If a raw milk coliform standard is demanded by CDFA, insist they start the process anew, and let all voices be heard.
