It is unlawful to sell or distribute raw, unpasteurized milk.

The Law Explained

New Jersey is one of the strictest states in the nation regarding unpasteurized dairy, completely banning the sale of raw milk even directly from farms. Rooted in early 20th-century public health crises where tainted milk spread tuberculosis and pathogens, the state has continuously blocked 'food freedom' advocates from overturning the ban.
