Does Lindt use hormones in their chocolate?
Lindt and our milk suppliers do not endorse or opposed the approval or use of bST on dairy cows. Legal approval of rbST, and the responsibility of safeguarding the American food supply is determined by the United States Food and Drug Administration following scientific evaluation. The agency had determined after a thorough review that rbST is safe and effective for dairy cows. In addition, the agency found there was no significant difference between milk from treated and untreated cows. Furthermore, there is currently no way to differentiate analytically between naturally occurring bST and recombinant rbST in milk, nor are there any measurable compositional differences between milk from cows that receive supplemental rbST and milk from cows that do not. As a result, Lindt cannot confirm or deny the presence of this in the raw material supply.
