Regulation of the Sale of Raw Milk in the State of Missouri
Federal law mandates pasteurization for all milk distributed in interstate commerce in package form intended for direct human consumption.1 In deciding upon the pasteurization requirement, the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) reasoned that pasteurization was the only way to assure the destruction of pathogenic microorganisms that might be present in raw milk.2 However, State law governs intrastate sales of raw milk. In the State of Missouri, an individual may purchase and have delivered to them for their own use raw milk or cream from a farm.3

RELEASEES: As used in this document, the term “Be Whole Again Affiliates” means Be Whole Again, LLC (“Be Whole Again”), any owners and operators of any real or personal property or equipment utilized by Be Whole Again, members, owner(s) of any membership interest, managers, employees, advisors, representatives or agents of Be Whole Again.

ASSUMPTION OF RISK: While there may be possible health benefits associated with consuming pure, clean, raw milk from healthy grass fed animals, I acknowledge that the FDA has concluded that the risks associated with the consumption of raw milk outweigh any possible health benefits that may arise from consuming raw milk.4 The consumption of raw milk or raw milk products may have inherent risks and dangers as well as risks that may be individual in nature, and may put me and members of my family in my household at risk of SERIOUS FOODBORNE ILLNESS, DISEASE, INFIRMITY or EVEN DEATH from pathogenic bacteria such as Salmonella, E coli O157:H7; Listeria, Campylobacter and Brucella. Illnesses caused by such pathogens may manifest symptoms including but not limited to diarrhea, abdominal cramps, body ache, vomiting, fever, headache, nausea, and dehydration and such illnesses can be especially severe for pregnant women, the elderly, infants, young children and people with weakened immune systems. I hereby certify that I understand the possible health risks that may be associated with the consumption of raw milk and raw milk products. In consideration of being allowed to purchase raw milk or raw milk products from Be Whole Again, I ASSUME ALL RISKS AND RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY ILLNESS, DISEASE, INFIRMITY, HEALTH AILMENT, OR EVEN DEATH, OF MYSELF AND ANY FAMILY MEMBERS IN MY HOUSEHOLD ASSOCIATED WITH THE CONSUMPTION OF RAW MILK OR RAW MILK PRODUCTS I OR ANYONE FROM MY HOUSEHOLD MAY PURCHASE FROM BE WHOLE AGAIN.

RELEASE OF CLAIMS: TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW I HEREBY RELEASE, WAIVE, DISCHARGE AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE each and all of the Be Whole Again Affiliates from all liability to myself, any minor or other family member in my household, my personal representative or estate, assigns, heirs and next of kin, or such minor’s estate, assigns, heirs and next of kin, for any and all loss or damage and any claims and/or demands on account of any illness, disease, infirmity, health ailment, death or damage to me or any minor or other member of my household.

INDEMNIFICATION: In addition to and without limiting anything contained herein, I hereby agree to indemnify each and all of the Be Whole Again Affiliates against, and agree to protect, save and hold harmless the Be Whole Again Affiliates from any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, claims, causes of action (including court costs and attorney’s’ fees) and any other costs associated with or arising from any claim or claims made by me or on my behalf (or by any minor or other family member of my household) with respect to the consumption of raw milk or raw milk products I or anyone in my household may have purchased from Be Whole Again or the terms, conditions, or enforcement of the terms of this RELEASE.

ENFORCEABILITY: The undersigned acknowledges that it is his or her intention to provide a release of claims to the Be Whole Again Affiliates to the fullest extent permitted by law. To the degree that a court determines that any provision of this RELEASE is partly or wholly unenforceable, such provision shall be re-written by the court or other tribunal interpreting the same such that it becomes enforceable and most closely approximates the intent of the parties.
