State board seeks public input on sale of raw milk

Posted: Updated:
INDIANAPOLIS -

An Indiana agency conducting a study on the sale of raw milk is asking state residents to weigh in.

The State Board of Animal Health is planning a virtual public hearing from June 1 through Sept. 1 at www.boah.in.gov where people can click on "What's New" and express their thoughts starting June 1. They can also offer suggestions for any potential change to Indiana law, which doesn't allow the sale of raw milk. Public commenters must provide a name and contact information.

The Board of Animal Health will prepare a final report for lawmakers.

Raw milk supporters contend that pasteurization, which kills harmful bacteria and extends shelf life, depletes milk of beneficial nutrients. The dairy industry and other opponents contend the threat of E. coli or salmonella should take precedent.
