What it is

This is milk from cows that have not been treated with recombinant bovine somatotropin (rBST) or bovine somatotropin (BST). BST is a natural hormone that helps cows produce milk. "Pasteurized" means the milk has been heated to kill harmful bacteria.

Why it's used

This type of milk is used in dairy products where consumers prefer milk from cows not treated with BST. It is most commonly found in cheeses like Colby Jack, Monterey Jack, and Cheddar.

Health notes

The FDA considers milk from cows treated with rBST to be safe. The agency states that milk from treated and untreated cows is compositionally the same. The World Health Organization (WHO) and other international bodies have also evaluated BST. No specific health claims are associated with milk from untreated cows.

Allergen info

Milk is one of the 9 major allergens identified by the FDA. This ingredient is derived from milk.
