This law defines what 'bulk milk' and 'bulk cream' are. They are milk or cream that hasn’t been pasteurized or packaged like the ones you find in stores. Instead, they are transported in large containers like tanks or cans. Also, if skim milk or cream has been heated or pasteurized just once as per certain other sections, and it's still in large containers, it's considered non-pasteurized for this purpose.

This law defines a "consumer" as someone who purchases milk, cream, or other dairy products to eat or drink themselves, rather than to sell to someone else.

In this section, 'Cream' is defined by referring to another section, specifically Section 32504, where the definition is provided.

This section defines what is considered a "dairy product" for legal purposes. It includes products classified under certain categories specified in other sections and includes items like butter, pasteurized process cheese, and imitation milk products that use market milk. The definition applies to these products regardless of where they are processed or manufactured, even if it's outside California.

This law section defines who is considered a 'Distributor' in the context of handling milk, cream, and dairy products. It includes handlers, brokers, agents, and certain nonprofit cooperatives. Specifically, it covers individuals or entities that sell dairy products from mobile vehicles to wholesale buyers, as well as those wholesale customers who process, manufacture, or package these products themselves.

However, it excludes wholesale customers that don't engage in processing or packaging and producers who only deliver to distributors or manufacturers without processing themselves.

The term "educational and research activities" refers to efforts aimed at enhancing how dairy producers and processors manage their operations, especially in ways that benefit the environment. This includes improving practices related to land use, air quality, and water quality.

This section refers to the definition of 'manufacturing milk' as explained in another section, specifically Section 32509. Essentially, to understand what 'manufacturing milk' is, one should look at Section 32509.

A 'manufacturing milk handler' is someone who receives or buys bulk milk directly or indirectly from milk producers or other handlers to process, sell, or handle it. This includes milk from inside or outside California and can involve owning, possessing, or controlling the milk.

A "manufacturing milk plant" is any location, structure, or building where a handler gets manufacturing milk.

The term "Manufacturer" refers to anyone involved in the business of making dairy products.

This section states that 'Market milk' is defined according to another section, specifically Section 32510, which contains the detailed definition.

This section simply states that the definition of 'market cream' can be found in another part of the law, specifically in Section 35811.

This law section states that the definition of "milk" is the same as the one given in Section 32511 of the California Food and Agricultural Code.

This law defines terms such as 'packaged milk,' 'packaged cream,' and 'packaged dairy product' as milk, cream, or any dairy products that are prepared for sale in consumer-oriented packaging like cartons, bottles, or cans. These products are intended for wholesale or direct consumer purchase.

This section defines the term “Person” to include a wide range of entities such as individuals, companies, partnerships, and organizations. It covers almost any type of business or organizational structure, whether incorporated or not.

This section defines a 'producer' as someone who runs a dairy herd to produce milk or cream for commercial purposes. Their products must be collected by a distributor, manufacturer, or a nonprofit cooperative of producers. Nonprofit cooperatives can also be considered producers in certain situations covered in another part of the law.

A "producer-distributor" is someone who both produces and sells milk, cream, or other dairy products. This person acts as a producer when they deliver bulk milk or cream to others like distributors or cooperatives. They act as a distributor when they process, package, or sell milk or cream directly to consumers.

This section defines a 'wholesale customer' as someone who purchases packaged milk, cream, or dairy products for the purpose of reselling them, either directly to consumers or to other wholesale buyers. Importantly, a wholesale customer is not the same as a distributor.
