Rbgh-bst Hormone Free Cultured Pasteurized Milk

This refers to milk from cows that have not been treated with recombinant bovine somatotropin (rBST) or bovine somatotropin (BST). BST is a natural hormone found in all cows that helps produce milk. rBST is a synthetic version approved for use in some countries to increase milk production.

Milk is a primary ingredient in many dairy products like cheese, yogurt, and ice cream. It provides a creamy texture, rich flavor, and nutritional value to a wide range of foods.

Milk is a source of calcium, vitamin D, and protein. The FDA has stated that milk from rBST-treated cows is safe to consume and that there is no significant difference in milk composition from treated and untreated cows. Some consumers prefer milk labeled 'rBST-free' due to concerns about the use of artificial hormones in animal agriculture, though scientific bodies like the FDA have not found a health basis for this distinction.
