Some local governments used to require milk producers to date their products in this way, but not since a state law was passed to prohibit them11 from doing so. The law now says: No county, city, village or incorporated town can require labeling of Grade "A" milk products with any date of process- 1 ing or date before which they must be sold or after which they may not be sold.
