FDA vs. Fresh Milk

Rainbow Acres organic Amish farm, in Pennsylvania, will be closing down after the Food and Drug Administration won it's suit against the farm over fresh milk. The FDA went after the farm stating, "that interstate sale of raw milk for human consumption is illegal.

According to the FDA milk that has not been pasteurized is too likely to carry diseases such as typhoid fever and diphtheria. Because of this they were backed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The judge in the case ruled that if the farm was caught selling across state lines again, that he would fine them for the cost of the investigation, as well as court fees. The owner of the farm, which also sells eggs, honey, butter, and other organic foods; has decided to simply shut down his farm, instead of enduring continued harassment from the FDA.
