Dear Akos

Thanks for your enquiry on the availability of raw drinking milk in Scotland.

In brief, the sale of raw milk is banned in Scotland due to the widely recognised public health risks associated with drinking unpasteurised milk. The Scottish ban on selling raw cow’s milk for human consumption was introduced in 1983 following a significant number of milk-related illnesses and the number of cases of foodborne disease associated with the consumption of raw milk has decreased significantly since then.

Regards, Will.
