WI Legislation Reconsiders 1950’s Law On Milk Pasteurization

Some people like their milk ice cold with cookies, others prefer it with
chocolate. Some like to buy pasteurized milk from a grocery store, others want
fresh, raw milk from a farm.

cookies, mix their moo juice with chocolate and buy all sorts of milk at the

roll back a 1959 law that requires all milk sold in the state to be pasteurized,
a process that involves heating milk to kill microscopic pathogens.
