Types of Drugs Exempt from the

Labeling and Storage Requirements of

the

PASTEURIZED MILK ORDINANCE

These exemptions were adopted by the NCIMS in 1989 and 1991 as drugs that
do not pose a human food safety concern.

Topical antiseptics, wound dressings, (unless intended for direct injection into the
teat), vaccines and other biologic and dosage form vitamin and/or mineral products
are exempt from the labeling and storage requirements of the PMO, except when it
is determined that they are stored in such a manner that they may contaminate the
milk or milk product surfaces of containers or utensils.

 These products are not exempted from the labeling requirements of
the FD&C Act. The products may be sold as OTC or prescription drugs.

NOTE: During the course of routine inspections, we encourage state/local regulatory
agencies to enforce the labeling and storage requirements for all drugs.
