Monsanto Wants to Make rBGH Labeling Illegal

MONSANTO WANTS TO MAKE RBGH LABELING ILLEGAL

This week, Monsanto declared war on dairy companies that have chosen to ban the

injection of their cows with Monsanto's genetically engineered Bovine Growth

Hormone (rBGH). Due to escalating consumer demand, an increasing number of large

dairies around the U.S. have declared themselves rBGH-free in the last couple of

years. Monsanto, the sole producer of the synthetic hormone, has seen

substantial losses in sales as a result of this voluntary movement of the

industry towards healthier milk. Although rBGH is banned in most industrialized

nations, including Europe and Canada, due to its links to breast and colon

cancer, the controversial drug remains legal in the U.S. This week, Monsanto

filed a formal complaint with the FDA and Federal Trade Commission, demanding

that labeling of rBGH-free diary products be made illegal. Learn more and get
