Michigan's Dairy Laws
The Michigan Department of Agriculture & Rural Development (MDARD) recently worked with representatives from a broad-based group of dairy stakeholders to update Michigan's dairy laws and adopt the most recent revision of the Grade "A" Pasteurized Milk Ordinance.
The Grade "A" Milk Law of 2001 has been revised and amended to include the adoption of the 2007 Federal Grade "A" Pasteurized Milk Ordinance. The Manufacturing Milk Law of 2001 has been revised and updated as well. The new updated laws are available by selecting a link from below.
To learn more about features of the new dairy laws or for more information on the dairy industry in Michigan, view issues of the Dairy Digest online.
The Michigan Department of Agriculture & Rural Development, Food and Dairy Division, Dairy Section has added many documents to the website, including Milking Equipment Installer Manual, Drug Residue Control and Educational Program, Drug Residue Screening Procedures Manual, Bulk Milk Hauler Training Manual and Summary of Requirements for Grade "A" Dairy Farm Milk Production. These may be accessed online through the Updated Dairy Manuals Web page.
