Iowa considers bill to legalize raw milk sales in stores, despite health risks.

Iowa lawmakers are considering a bill that would permit the sale of raw milk in grocery stores and farmers markets, which are currently limited to direct farm-to-consumer transactions. Health experts and industry groups oppose the bill, citing the risks of hazardous bacteria such as E. coli and Salmonella in raw milk. Proponents advocate for consumer choice and potential health benefits, despite CDC warnings against raw milk consumption due to safety concerns.
