Joint Senate Hearings, California – Safety of Raw Milk

California State Capitol BuildingIt is an “ALL HANDS ON DECK” call for the April 15th, California, joint senate hearings on the safety of raw milk.

Senator Dean Florez and Senator Maldonado will be chairing the hearings entitled …..

“Fresh Farm Milk-Assuring Safety and Consumer Choice” - Joint Hearing of Senate Agriculture Committee and the Select Committee on Food-Borne Illness. 

The CDFA and the FDA will be represented by the chief of FDA dairy safety, John Sheehan, supported by eight university food safety experts.

(NOTE: An interesting development highlights a scathing, April 10th letter from Senator Florez to the Secretary of the CDFA, revealing the CDFA’s refusal to appear ! …..)


Mark McAfee, Sally Fallon, Dr. Ted Beals, MD, Cat Berge DVM, PhD, Dr. Mark Gebhart MD, Jordan Rubin, and several others of note, will be fighting for the rights of those who want their access to quality, raw milk and freedom of choice preserved.

Upwards of 1500 raw milk supporters are expected to be present at the event. As these are official hearings, every person there has the right to respectfully have their say in the matter.

The event has been described as a “crucial showdown” and “landmark hearing”. If you can be in Sacramento during that time, your supportive presence is greatly encouraged.
