What Exactly is Organic Milk?

- USDA organic milk should come from cows that have not been treated with the bovine growth hormone (BGH), to increase milk production.
- Cows producing organic milk should not be treated with antibiotics.
- The cows' feed should be organic.
- The cows should graze in fields most of the year.

While it is hard to overlook the presence of bovine growth hormones in conventionally produced milk, organic milk may not be affordable to everyone, even with money saving coupons. It may be a safe practice to consume organic if and when possible. If a compromise has to be made, choose dairy products from milk producers that do not use hormones, even with conventionally produced milk.
