   An act to amend Section 34008 of the Food and Agricultural Code,
relating to milk products.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1390, 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 goat
milk cheese produced at a licensed milk products plant that is
manufactured from curds made from goat milk that has been
pasteurized, ultrapasteurized, or aseptically processed at certain
milk products plants. The bill would also make a technical change by
deleting an obsolete provision.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 34008 of the Food and Agricultural Code is
amended to read:
   34008.  (a) All market milk and market milk products, and all milk
for manufacturing purposes and manufactured milk products, shall be
pasteurized at the plant where processed and packaged unless
otherwise provided in this division.
   (b) This section does not apply to any of the following:
   (1) Licensed milk products plants that are used exclusively for
the preparation of ice cream or ice milk that is manufactured on the

by a licensed milk products plant.
   (2) Products sold through soft-serve establishments, including
frozen yogurts and frozen dairy desserts.
   (3) Goat milk cheese produced at a licensed milk products plant,
excluding cottage cheese, manufactured from curds, provided the curds
were made only from goat milk that has been pasteurized,
ultrapasteurized, or aseptically processed, as defined in Sections
34001, 34001.5, and 39701, respectively, at either of the following:
   (A) A licensed milk products plant.

Sec. 350d).
   (c) The secretary may, by regulation, provide for additional
exemptions from this section.
