In fact, many of the company's cheeses are still sourced from dairy operations where cows are regularly injected with rBGH. The OCA and Sierra Club have provided Trader Joe's with a list of rBGH-free dairy suppliers from throughout the U.S. The company now needs to hear from consumers that either Trader Joe's truly goes GMO-free, or its customers will shop elsewhere.
