A Divided Issue: Raw Milk

While there’s ⁢broad ⁣agreement ⁢on⁤ regulating additives and processing, the issue of raw milk sparks debate. Currently,⁢ half of parents (47%) support removing restrictions on its sale, while 52% oppose it.⁣

This division largely ⁣falls along political lines.

* Republican & MAHA Supporters: Six in ten (60% and 63% respectively) support allowing the sale of raw milk.
* ‍ Democrats & Non-MAHA Supporters: Majorities oppose removing restrictions.

For decades, the⁤ Food and Drug⁣ Administration has prohibited the interstate sale of raw milk,⁢ citing significant health risks associated with unpasteurized milk consumption. Pasteurization effectively eliminates harmful bacteria, protecting⁣ public health.
