EXAMPLES OF FALSE OR MISLEADING CLAIMS TYPICALLY FOUND*
The TRUTH about "No Antibiotics" Claims
Antibiotics are never added to milk. All milk is tested to ensure that antibiotics used to treat cows are not present in milk. Antibiotic-free and no-Antibiotic claims are not allowed in animal agriculture. Read the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food Safety Information Service guidelines at www.fsis.usda.gov/OPPDE/larc/Claims/RaisingClaims.pdf
The TRUTH about "No Hormone" Claims
All milk produced by cows contains hormones as part of the normal biology of reproduction and lactation. There is no such thing as hormone-free milk.
