NY Times article about Pa Dept of Agriculture making the following labels illegal on milk and dairy products starting Jan 1, 2008:
"No rBGH"
"From cows that haven’t been treated with artificial bovine growth hormone"
"Pesticide Free"
"Antibiotic Free"
Looks like Im buying my dairy in NJ.
Just remember, if you buy organic milk, it automatically means (at least until the organic standards are decreased) that it has no pesticides or antibiotics, and the cows have to have access to pasture...so despite this labeling law, you can still know you are doing the right thing.
