Raw Milk for Retail Sale

Milk and Dairy Sampling Explanation and Required Sampling Frequencies

The Texas Department of State Health Services requires licensed Raw for Retail dairies to have their milk sampled on a quarterly basis for pathogenic bacteria and for the presence of antibiotics in the milk.  If either of these are found present in milk intended for sale as Grade "A" Retail Raw, the dairyman's product will be immediately detained and not available for public sale.  This procedure is required to react to imminent health hazards present for consumers who may purchase or consume the milk.  WITHOUT proper pasteurization of raw milk, the risk for contamination outbreaks increases 24%.  WITH proper pasteurization of raw milk, contamination outbreaks are less than 1%.  Therefore, any presence of antibiotics or the below pathogenic bacteria are not tolerated.   

The department will sample, at least quarterly, each Grade A raw milk processor dairy farm whose Grade A raw milk and Grade A raw milk products are produced and intended for consumption within the State of Texas.
