What does the Pasteurized Milk Ordinance establish?

• A. A guideline for labeling requirements of all foods
• B. It provides national standards for production, processing, packaging, and sale of Grade "A" milk and milk products
• C. It regulates only the labeling of milk products
• D. It governs the inspection of dairy farms

Answer: (B)

The Pasteurized Milk Ordinance sets a national framework for dairy safety and quality by establishing standards for the production, processing, packaging, and sale of Grade A milk and milk products. This creates a uniform baseline that states adopt to regulate dairy operations and ensure safe, high-quality milk across the country, including requirements for pasteurization and sanitary practices. It’s not limited to labeling or farm inspections alone, and it isn’t about labeling all foods.
