I’m always happy to admit when I’m wrong and this time I am.
It is not the lack of pasteurization that makes Quebec cheese curds problematic in Alberta. It is the fact that it was not held for the 60 days required by their food safety laws.
[Edit: This one is helpful for understanding why I was confused. As a quebecer who lived in alberta for many years it always struck me as odd that the local cheese factory said they could not sell us curd because it was illegal. And the timeline of me learning that is right around when this law was changed.
It’s made from fresh pasteurized milk so I have no idea what you’re talking about buddy.

Where did you find that fact?
Can you link it because I’d enjoy reading it.

That’s from cheese made using raw milk.
Cheese curds are not made from raw milk, it’s been pasteurized.
