Raw milk and cheese

"Raw" milk and dairy products, meaning unpasteurized, are commonly consumed in Europe, Asia and Africa. Some European countries even have unpasteurized milk vending machines. But at the federal level in the U.S., the interstate sale or distribution of raw milk is illegal. Consuming raw milk is legal in all 50 states, but only a dozen states allow the sale of raw cow’s milk in stores.
