No, Ohio no longer has any valid licenses for the sale of raw (unpasteurized) milk. However, it is still legal for the owner of a cow to drink the milk produced from his cow without first pasteurizing it. This has been used to "get around" the licensing laws - people who wish to obtain raw milk buy a 'share' of a milk cow and then receive a 'share' of the milk that cow produces. This is a gray legal area that has been challenged in multiple courts around the country; some courts have upheld the 'cow-share' arrangements while other courts have said that this amounts to selling raw milk and ruled it illegal.

Raw milk can, and often does, carry a number of very dangerous bacteria - Mycobacterium bovis (which causes TB in humans), Brucellosis (which causes undulant fever in humans), Salmonella, E. coli including E. coli O157:H7, Listeria, Camplyobacter, etc. Milk was first pasteurized to control the spread of TB in humans - the pasteurization process kills the bacteria and makes the milk safer. Prior to pasteurization, it is estimated that one in four food-borne outbreaks were linked to the consumption of milk.

Can you sell raw milk in panama?

You can do lots of things as long as you take responsibility for what you are doing. Buying raw milk means that you have to know the source.....if the cows are very clean, free of infection and that they have had their utters cleaned very carefully before milking. Raw means that the milk has not been pasturized, so that any bacteria in the milk, you will be ingesting. Ever heard of E. Coli? Potentially deadly stuff. So it all depends on your source and how much you trust them. If you question is, "Will I be arrested for buying raw milk, like what happened in California recently when the policed came with guns to shut down a raw milk store (I'm not kidding!)?" Probably nothing to worry about in Panama. They have bigger criminals to catch.
