View Official Resource →El Salvador Raw Milk Laws & Regulations
Pasteurization required under MAG and Ministerio de Salud regulations. Traditional farm-direct and market sales of raw milk are practiced, particularly in rural areas.
Legal Status & Regulations
El Salvador requires pasteurization for commercially sold milk under regulations enforced by the Ministerio de Agricultura y Ganadería (MAG) and the Ministerio de Salud. Technical standards developed by the Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología (CONACYT) set quality requirements for raw milk in the context of primary production and processing. The Centro Nacional de Tecnología Agropecuaria y Forestal (CENTA) under MAG supports dairy development and quality standards.
Traditional raw milk sales at local markets and directly from farms are widely practiced in El Salvador's rural areas, with informal distribution common in agricultural communities. These sales operate without formal authorization and with minimal enforcement of pasteurization requirements at the small-producer level.
