Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Raw milk cheese isn’t illegal though?
It is(or was) in USA
Importing fresh, raw cheese is illegal. Production and sale within the country is mostly controlled by state regulations but "raw cheese is illegal" is an incorrect blanket statement.
No it wasn’t.
Raw milk cheese is perfectly fine. It just has to be aged for at least 60 days at or above 35 degrees F.
pasteurization is required and unpasteurized is banned, i haven't kept up to date since Trump tho
No, pasteurization has never been a hard requirement. The requirement has been aged 60 days for a long time now.
That means that soft raw cheeses like Brie are effectively banned, because you can’t really age them like that. But there has always been plenty of aged cheeses made from raw milk.
Here’s a WSJ article about it from 2010. https://web.archive.org/web/20150711000630/https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052702304370304575151663770115120
Raw milk has been legal to sell in some form in 29 states going back to the early 00s as well. A few states like California have allowed raw milk to be sold at retailers, and plenty more have allowed it to be sold direct from the farmer.
Ah 29 states, I'm in the states where it wasn't legal (but i see it in some stores now unfortunately)
