Model bill proposes grading unfit cream and price incentives
A draft model statute aims to ban sale or manufacture of unfit cream and requires grading of cream by qualified inspectors. It would pay at least one cent more per pound butterfat for first grade cream, compel sediment tests, and shipments must be sent to butter plants within 24 hours. The move aligns with FDA crackdowns on inferior dairy products amid rising enforcement.
