Wal-Mart starts selling milk free of growth hormone 3-23-08
(Foodconsumer.org) --
Wal-Mart Stores said on Thursday that it is now selling its private-label milk
under brand name Great Value which is being sourced only from cows that have not
been treated with controversial growth hormones, Reuters reported.
Conventional milk comes from cows that receive artificial growth hormone that
forces cows to increase production of milk by more than 15 %. Use of growth
hormones is known to have a negative impact on cows’ wellbeing.
Although the Food and Drug Administration said the conventional milk contains no
higher growth hormone than milk from untreated cows, critics say cows treated
with growth hormone are less healthy and more vulnerable for a range of illness
and more likely to be treated with drugs such as
antibiotics.
European countries and Canada ban importation of U.S. milk, according to
preventcancer.com.
Wal-Mart said its Sam's Club chain is also offering milk selections from
suppliers who claimed not to use growth hormone such as recombinant bovine
somatotropin (rBST) in dairy cows, Reuters reported.
The retailer said they made the change in response to the market demand.
Comment:
Walmart is a great source for organic foods,
clothing, sheets, bath supplies, and more. I am surprised weekly at the amount
of Organic Products they add. However, selection can very from state to state,
city to city and store to store. Sams has also started selling some
Organics. Maranatha Peanut Butter, Uncle Lee's Tea's, Coffee, Plants, Produce,
etc..
