> A level playing field ensures that everyone in the market is making safe, hopefully good quality, products for that market

I don't believe "safe" and "good quality" are necessarily aligned. I live close to a dairy farm where they sell (their own) unpasturised milk. You bring your own bottle, fill it, and pay in the honesty box. The farmer has a (small) disclaimer suggesting that the milk be boiled prior to consumption, but I don't believe any of the local buyers actually do that.

Q: Should this be forbidden?

My OPINION is that it should not be forbidden BUT that it should be clearly labeled.

UNPROCESSED Raw Milk (animal species)

There should probably be a poster or something created by the FDA that quickly summarizes the risks involved with not performing each of the mandatory safety steps for normal retail 'Milk', and it would be helpful if more detailed information were available on a website and from the local health agencies.
