A. All pasteurized, ultra-pasteurized and aseptically processed milk and dairy products shall be placed in their final delivery containers in the plant in which they are pasteurized, ultra-pasteurized or aseptically processed. It shall be unlawful for hotels, soda fountains, restaurants, grocery stores, markets and similar establishments to sell or serve any milk or milk products except in the original containers received from the plant in which it was pasteurized, ultra-pasteurized or aseptically processed or from a bulk container dispensing device that conforms with 3-A Standards.
