State bans unpasteurized milk products

On January the 26th, there was a new state law went into effect. This new state law bans unpasteurized milk products, which is for the republic's health. Obviously, the demand would decline due to this new state law, because this new regulation might hurt the middle and small sized dairy farms.

First if all, instead of selling unpasteurized milk, they produce and sell more cheese and butter to make up for their profits. However, in order to keep the productions from being contaminated, the regulations require farmers making cheese in the rooms separated from the rest of the houses with a tile or concrete floor must be used. As a result, the new requirements may cost farmers from $3,000 to $10,000. Moreover, the new law expands banning not only the sale of unpasteurized cow milk and raw cow milk but also the goats, sheep and other mammals that are milked for dairy products. In addition, all the farms that sell dairy products to the public have to be inspected every six months.

I believe that these regulations show that people are more care about their health today; they pay more money on health care. Also, the government spends more on people's health, and makes more regulations for making our food healthier. But I also believe that those regulations would decline the demand of milk production; the small sized farms that cannot afford the cost of production probably will close. However, I think in the near feather, the technology will be able help the farmers produce unpasteurized milk with less costs.
