Article 18 - [Effective July 1, 2023] Raw Dairy
§ 26-2-461. [Effective July 1, 2023] Reporting of Safety Concerns; Product Recall or Notifications to Consumers

Each producer of raw milk for human consumption shall develop and maintain procedures for the notification of regulatory officials, consumer notification, and product recall, and shall implement any of these procedures as necessary with respect to any product for which the producer or the department knows or has reason to believe circumstances exist that may adversely affect its safety for the consumer. If the department determines, based upon representative samples, risk analysis, information provided by the producer, and other information available to the department, that the circumstances present an imminent hazard to the public health and that a form of consumer notice or product recall can effectively avoid or significantly minimize the threat to public health, the department may order the producer to initiate a level of product recall or, if appropriate, issue a form of notification to customers. The producer shall be responsible for disseminating the notice in a manner designed to inform customers who may be affected by the problem.
