Pennsylvania Agriculture Department Advises Consumers on Raw Dairy Labeling for Safety
The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture is urging consumers to carefully read labels when purchasing raw dairy products for either human or pet consumption. The department highlights that raw dairy products intended for pets are regulated as commercial feed and have different manufacturing, labeling, and distribution requirements compared to those meant for people. For human consumption, raw dairy products must adhere to specific food safety and sanitation standards. Consumers are also advised to follow all listed handling and storage instructions to ensure safety. This guidance aims to protect families and their pets by ensuring that products are used for their intended purpose, preventing potential health risks associated with improper consumption or handling of raw dairy.
