MPI not backing down over raw milk

From Morning Report, 8:25 am on 18 February 2020

The Ministry for Primary Industries is refusing to bend the rules on raw milk, leading to a stand-off with one Hawkes Bay supplier who says the existing regulations will kill the business.

It follows raids in December, when, MPI confiscated milk from eight unregistered suppliers in six regions around the country, after a year-long investigation.
