A bill that would allow the sale of unregulated milk, eggs, and canned goods has received initial support by the Wyoming Senate.
Senator Ogden Driskill says it will help agriculture producers generate income. Driskill says these goods exchange hands all the time anyway.
“What this bill does is makes a lot of what’s happening already legal and encourages farm to ranch markets in our cities and towns and throughout the country.”
But several Senators expressed concern that this could lead to food-borne illnesses. Worland Senator Gerry Geis says it’s a bad idea.
“I’m just telling you if you pass this bill buyer beware and whoever’s doing the selling better have damn good liability insurance.”
The bill will be debated two more times.
