Raw milk legalization debated amid farm waste and policy debate
Canadian dairy farms discard 600 million to one billion litres of milk on farm annually while the debate over legalizing raw milk sales intensifies. Prohibition under Food and Drug Regulations since 1991 contrasts with Europe and other regions where controlled raw milk is sold.
