Raw Milk State Guidelines
Washington State Department of Agriculture, July 17, 2021
Retail Raw Milk includes fluid whole milk, hand-skimmed cream and milk which has been hand-skimmed. This means a plant cannot use a separator, homogenizer or any other mechanical device to separate raw cream from raw milk. Retail Raw Milk does not include chocolate or flavored milk, or cultured fluid milk (buttermilk). Retail Raw Milk cannot be used to produce other food products such as yogurt, butter, puddings, or ice cream.
