Dairy labels can be confusing by an endless array of product labels claiming various issues. The FDA stated that dairy products and meat from BST-treated cows are safe for human consumption.
The Council of the European Union (EU) decided to definitively ban possible use of recombinant bovine somatotrophin (rBST) in the European Union.
Some claims can't be supported such as
Hormone-free, the claim is misleading since all dairy products contain hormones.
No hormones added This label may also be misleading because the FDA requires that all commercially available fluid milk sold must be fortified with Vitamin D.
Made without the use of synthetic or artificial hormones All milk has hormones in it.
All Natural — According to the FDA, these terms may be used on fluid milk products as long as they don’t contain any artificial ingredients or added colors and flavors.
Our farmers pledge not to use artificial growth hormones.
Milk from cows not treated with rBST
No Hormones added, No Antibiotics.
So which to choose?... You be the judge. Just a thought.
