and Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 11340) of Part 1 of Division
3 of Title 2 of the Government Code, may adopt regulations

provided for in this chapter. In adopting these regulations, the
secretary shall take into consideration the preservation of high
quality market milk for consumers, as well as avoidance of hardship
and unreasonable expense for persons engaged in the processing,
packaging, and distribution of market milk.
