Is it legal to sell raw milk in wyoming?
Wyoming Food Freedom Act
During the 2015 Wyoming State Legislative Session, the Wyoming State Legislature passed with overwhelming bi-partisan support the Wyoming Food Freedom Act (HB 56). It was later signed into law by Governor Matt Mead. This law makes it possible for producers to be able to sell food that is unlicensed or unregulated as long as it involves a single transaction between the producer and the informed end-consumer. Raw milk is one of the many foods included in this new law. The state currently does not have a program to license or inspect raw milk (or other foods covered in the law), but it does leave discretion and responsibility solely to producer and consumer. For this reason, we take very seriously this enhanced freedom, but recognize that it brings great responsibility. That is why we believe it is important for us to work hard in making sure we operate our own high-standard food safety program.
Federal regulations currently prohibit raw milk from being sold across state lines and so for now, raw milk sales are dependent on individual state laws. Fortunately, most states now have some form of law that allows for the legal sale of raw milk. This trend is growing and the Wyoming Food Freedom Act is one evidence of that growing interest in the local food freedom movement.
In short, raw milk sales are perfectly legal in the state of Wyoming. To read the full text of the Wyoming Food Freedom Act, CLICK HERE.
