I think the rationale is that if there is a food poisoning outbreak, they want to keep it within a limited geographical area – apart from anything else, that gives them a better chance of tracing the source. So they design the rules to avoid raw milk being shipped all around the country, or at least less often. It makes a kind of sense.
Whether they really need such precautions, and whether that’s really the only reason they do it, is another question, of course!

In reply to Cao.

“I thought it was only against the law to have someone from a group pick up milk at the farm for redistribution.”

doesn’t that sound crazy to begin with?

This is great news. Does he have an organic dairy farm? Also, I thought it was not against the law to sell raw milk at the farm, provided you bring your own sterilized containers. I thought it was only against the law to have someone from a group pick up milk at the farm for redistribution.
