No formal legal pathway for consumer raw milk sales. Direct farm sales are widely practiced across the country with minimal enforcement.
Poland does not have a formal legal framework permitting raw milk sales to consumers, and direct farm sales technically operate outside the provisions of Polish food safety law as implemented under EU Regulation (EC) No 853/2004. However, direct farm sales of raw milk are widely practiced across the country and enforcement action is minimal, creating a de facto market that functions without formal authorization.
Raw milk is available from small and traditional farms throughout Poland, particularly in rural areas. No registration or inspection scheme exists for consumer-facing raw milk sales.
