AB 1390, as introduced, Committee on Agriculture. Milk products: pasteurization: goat milk.
Existing law requires that all market milk and market milk products, and all milk for manufacturing purposes and manufactured milk products, be pasteurized at the plant where those products are processed and packaged. This provision does not apply to certain products, including licensed milk products plants that are used exclusively for the preparation of ice cream and other, specified milk products.
This bill would additionally exempt from the above provision licensed milk production plants that produce goat milk products on their premises from goat milk products pasteurized offsite, provided the products are produced, pasteurized, ultrapasteurized, aseptically processed, concentrated, condensed, or dried in accordance with specified provisions. The bill would also make a technical change by deleting an obsolete provision.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no.
