Unlike the criminal statutes, this is regulatory law : there is no presumption of innocence under regulatory law - you must demonstrate that you complied with the law.

OBTW, Dean Foods, (DF:NYSE), the owner of the fetid dairy (for which I supplied pictures) is another Texas company. Surprise, surprise.
