Digest
HB 1669 regulates the sale of raw milk and raw milk products in Texas by requiring permits for their sale. It allows direct sales to consumers, cooperative associations, or raw milk coordinators. The bill establishes stringent labeling requirements, including clear identification of allergens and a warning about the risks of consuming unpasteurized milk, particularly for vulnerable populations. It also introduces the role of a "raw milk coordinator," who facilitates direct sales to consumers at agreed-upon locations, including farmers' markets, and requires these coordinators to register with the state. The Health and Human Services Commission is tasked with developing the permitting process and implementing rules.
