RICHMOND, Va. – The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is being asked to allow sales of raw milk across state lines – something that's been illegal for 30 years.
Virginia has seen occasional disease outbreaks from people drinking unpasteurized milk. But a group known as the Real Food Consumer Coalition says folks have a right to choose it – and is petitioning the FDA to review its ban on interstate transport of raw milk products.
At the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, public health veterinarian Dr. Megin Nichols, says the more lenient the laws become about raw milk, the more illnesses are reported.
