Does milk need to be pasteurised?

[Sammiw]

Hi

I have been make milk soap using pasteurised goats milk but am looking to switch to raw sheep’s milk in the spring does it need to be pasteurised or can I use it raw?

I have used unpasteurized cow milk many times, no difference between it and the store bought crap in my soaps.

Does the UK have regulations that mandate the quality of or source consistency of your raw materials that go into making your soap? Perhaps if you make it only for yourself and your immediate family it won't matter, but if you sell (and give away??), it would be worth checking with your assessor, if you have one.

thank you I have been in contact with a company that does CPSR and they say I can use it either way.
