§ 34628 Milk Transfer Restrictions

Key Takeaways

  • •You can't pour milk from one container to another in public places like streets or sidewalks.
  • •You also can't do this in a car or truck while on the road.
  • •The only okay places are a special 'milk room' or where the milk is being served to drink right there.

Example

A milk delivery person tries to pour milk from a big jug into smaller bottles while parked on the side of the road.

This is not allowed because the law says you can't transfer milk from one container to another on the street or in a vehicle. They could get in trouble for breaking this rule.
