A farmer in B.C.'s Fraser Valley has been found guilty of contempt for selling unpasteurized milk products. The farmer distributed her raw dairy products, including cream, yogurt and milk, to members through various depots in Metro Vancouver. Health officials pressed the matter in July, saying she was still packaging the products for her customers by sidestepping the order by labeling the product ‘not for human consumption.’ The farmer has maintained she was not breaking the law because in her cow share members own a stake in the animals, meaning they own the milk and the milk was never sold to the general public. Raw milk is deemed to be a public health hazard under the provincial Public Health Act.
