Puerto Rico Considers Bill To Limit Sales Of UHT Milk

Puerto Rico Considers Bill To Limit Sales Of UHT Milk
by Staff Reporter, International Dairy Foods AssociationPosted: Friday, May 20, 2011 at 3:40PM EDT

IDFA recently sent a letter to the governor of Puerto Rico asking him to oppose a proposed bill that would restrict sales of imported ultra-high temperature (UHT) milk in the Commonwealth. The bill, S. 1237, aims to ban the sale of UHT milk that does not arrive in Puerto Rico within 30 days of its manufacturing date. Several IDFA members currently ship UHT products to Puerto Rico and would be affected by the ban. UHT milk is fresh milk that has been specially processed so that it will not need refrigeration until the container has been opened.

  1. If it fall's withing the parameters stablished in other US localities I would be in favor. If it is an intent to restrict, even more, the access of this fine product to the PR consumers I am against.

    UHT milk use to be $0.85 - $1.05. Now it is closer to $2.00 thanks to the stupid intervention of the federal courts in this COLONY!! I am pro statehood but these judges acted in total disregard of our small family buget...
