Pennsylvania Agriculture Department Urges Consumers to Read Raw Dairy Labels

The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture is reminding consumers to read product labels when purchasing raw dairy products for themselves or their pets.

Raw dairy products labeled for pets are intended only for animal consumption. These products are regulated as commercial feed and are manufactured, labeled and distributed under different requirements than dairy products intended for people.

Raw dairy products intended for human consumption must meet applicable food safety and sanitation requirements. Consumers should also follow the handling and storage instructions listed on the product.

The department advises consumers to choose products that match their intended use to protect their families and pets.
