Montana SB416 establishes labeling requirements for pasteurized milk, including "sell by" and "best by" dates, and allows for date extensions under.

Montana SB416 sets standards for labeling pasteurized milk, requiring processors to establish a "sell by" date and a "best by" date on milk containers. Milk cannot be sold after the "sell by" date unless an extension is approved by the Department of Livestock. Processors must provide scientific documentation to support their application for a date extension. Milk offered for sale contrary to these provisions may be seized and destroyed. Exemptions apply to processors not selling or distributing milk to the public.
