Agri-food leaders hit out at Government plan to ban raw milk

CONSUMERS will lose a unique product if the Government drives ahead with its plan to ban raw milk sales, warn agri-food leaders.

The Irish Cattle and Sheep Farmers’ Association (ICSA), the Slow Food movement and leading food vendors have been campaigning for over a year to dissuade the Government from implementing the ban.

Opponents say the ban is seeking to stamp out a problem that doesn’t exist.
