Colostrum FAQMany customers have called us, concerned about the treatment of the calves and cows after birth. Their concern is that some dairies that sell colostrum kill the calf after birth, sell the calf for meat, and milk the mother to get the "maximum" amount of colostrum.

Related QuestionsHow do you know that rbST is safe for humans who consume meat and milk from treated cows?
Monsanto's recombinant bovine growth hormone (rbST)FDA only approved POSILAC after concluding that its use poses no risk to human health. Cows produce bovine somatotropin in their pituitary glands. Thus, we have been naturally exposed to trace levels of bST in beef, milk, and other dairy products. Because it is a protein hormone, bovine somatotropin is broken down during digestion, which renders it biologically inactive and incapable of having an effect in humans. Intact proteins are not absorbed into the body.
Related QuestionsWhat about the increased "pus" in the milk from cows treated with rbST?
Monsanto's recombinant bovine growth hormone (rbST)Some individuals are incorrectly using the word "pus" to refer to somatic cells in milk. FDA concluded that the milk somatic cell count (SCC) may increase in some herds when POSILAC is used. Somatic cells are always present in milk and consist of cells (such as epithelial cells, leukocytes, neutrophils, and macrophages) that are already present in the human body and blood.

Monsanto's recombinant bovine growth hormone (rbST)FDA cannot require special labeling of products from cows treated with POSILAC because the Agency has concluded that it lacks a basis under the law to require special labeling of such foods. Milk from treated cows is the same as milk of untreated cows. However, voluntary labeling is permitted if it is truthful and not misleading.

Related QuestionsWhy didn't FDA require Monsanto to develop a test to determine whether milk comes from treated cows?
Monsanto's recombinant bovine growth hormone (rbST)FDA did not require Monsamo to develop such a test because the milk from cows treated with POSILAC has been determined to be safe for human consumption. Since there is no human food safety concem, FDA has no grounds on which to demand such a special identification test. While developing such a test is theoretically possible, it would also be useless for regulatory purposes.
