"Pennsylvania, unlike some states, allows the sale of raw milk and certain raw milk products," said Wolff. "We recognize the potential risks associated with raw milk, and have a responsibility to protect the health and safety of all Pennsylvanians. That means ensuring that all raw and pasteurized milk sellers, regardless of their customer base, are meeting the standards of the law."

Dairy farmers can obtain the free permit from the Department of Agriculture after passing inspections and tests showing they meet the requirements of the law.
