Public Hearing: rBGH and rBST labelling of Dairy Products
On Tuesday December 2, the Kansas State Department of Agriculture (KDA) will hold a public hearing on a proposed rule that would ban milk or dairy products carrying labels such as "rBGH -free", or "rBST free", or "no artificial hormones", and establish rules for labeling such dairy products. Recombinant bovine growth hormone, known as rBGH or rBST, is a drug developed by Monsanto Corporation to inject into cows to increase milk production. Consumer advocates point to a link between these hormones and such health consequences as early maturation and breast cancer.
