Is 365 and 365 Organic Everyday Value Milk free of synthetic growth hormones?
Yes. 365 and 365 Organic Everyday Value Milk is from cows that are NEVER given synthetic growth hormones like rBGH. Due to the structure of the commodity milk market, it is not possible to guarantee that milk other than our Private Label and other organic milks are from cows not given rBGH. Both organic producers and our Private Label producers are audited by third-party inspectors to verify compliance with this policy. Under the National Organic Standards, organic dairy animals may not be given rBGH. Although 365 Everyday Value Milk is not organic, it is produced by dairy farms committed to the production of milk that does not contain the synthetic growth hormone rBGH. If a cow does require antibiotics it is taken from the herd and quarantined until the antibiotics have passed through her system.
