Alta Dena Certified Organic Dairy
1-800-535-2369 ext. 221
PO Box 388, City of Industry, CA 91747-0388

Concerns have been raised by some scientists and consumer groups as to the long-term effect of (rBST) on cows and humans. For example, some groups are concerned the increased milk production in cows treated with (rBST) will lad to an increase in the incidence of mastitis, and infection in the udder. These groups believe this could cause a potential increase in the presence of antibiotics in the milk supply.

Some consumers feel that regardless of the government's findings, the results of scientific studies are inconclusive and prefer a product from cows that have NOT been treated with (rBST).

At Alta Dena, they believe the quality of the milk begins with the cow. All of their milk comes from local independent farmers who are NOT using (rBST). And unlike most dairies who purchase powdered or condensed milk from a third party, Alta Dena has invested in the equipment to produce the highest quality condensed skim milk possible for use in their milk, ice cream mixes, and cultured products. This is why Alta Dena is able to guarantee the products they manufacture are made from milk that comes from cows not treated with bovine growth hormone.
