Raw Milk

Dairy Compliance

Raw milk and raw milk dairy products include milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, etc. that have not undergone pasteurization, a heat treatment process that kills harmful bacteria. While some consumers value raw milk for perceived health benefits, it is important to understand the associated risks and regulations.

Producing and selling raw milk in Utah comes with specific responsibilities to ensure consumer safety and compliance with state regulations. The Utah Department of Agriculture and Food oversees raw milk production and sales under the Dairy Program, ensuring that producers adhere to strict standards for quality and safety.
