2005 Connecticut Code - Sec. 22-189. Sanitary provisions.
Sec. 22-189. Sanitary provisions. All stables, buildings and premises where milk,
cream, skimmed milk or buttermilk is being produced, handled or sold shall be maintained at all times in a clean and orderly manner. The cows on such premises shall be
healthy and free from disease, be kept clean and be housed in suitable quarters, well
lighted and ventilated. The water used on such premises shall be free from pollution or
organisms which cause or are liable to cause disease, as determined by analyses of
samples ordered taken by the commissioner. All privies, cesspools and sink drains on
such premises shall be so located, constructed and maintained that the contents will not
be a menace to milk products or the public health. All utensils and containers used in
handling milk shall be thoroughly washed immediately after using and be effectually
sanitized immediately prior to reuse.
History: 1961 act required that utensils and containers be "sanitized immediately prior to reuse" rather than "sterilized, preferably by steam"; 1967 act deleted reference to determination of cows' health "as determined by physical examination".
