House Passes Bill To Legalize Quick Milk Pasteurization
DES MOINES AP A milk pasteurization method that takes 46 seconds would be legal under a bill passed in the Town house Friday. Iowa law currently requires milk be pasteurized by 145 F for 25 minutes or 185 F for a shorter time. Mark Thompson secretary of agriculture said the new process is equally effective at killing healthful bacteria. Advocates say milk is tastier with the quick method and has a clearer cream line.
