Cabot Cheese Says 'No Whey' to rBGH PDF Print E-mail
Written by Kiki Hubbard   
Saturday, 24 January 2009

New England's largest dairy cooperative, Agri-Mark, has officially banned rBGH from its products. The decision follows demands by consumers, largely of its popular brand, Cabot, and is in line with those of other leading dairy companies and grocery chains that have come to reject the controversial growth hormone.

Agri-Mark boasts about 1,300 members and operates the major manufacturing plants in the region. One plant in New York will continue to accept milk from cows injected with rBGH, though there's not much incentive to continue using the synthetic hormone -- farmers have to pay extra to ship their milk to this plant.

If you ever doubt that consumer requests are heard or think our choices don't impact production practices, take this quote by Agri-Mark's senior vice president to heart:

Cabot sales were at risk, and we were going to lose markets if we continued to accept milk from rbST-treated cows...Agri-Mark waited as long as it could to close the door on rbST, but the pressures coming back from consumers and retailers forced the cooperative to protect its Cabot brand.

I just attended a New Hampshire state agricultural
committee meeting on increasing the availability of
raw milk to be sold commercially by local farmers. I wonder if the larger processed milk coops would be interested in offering raw as an alternative.

Unfortunately, the story of food can sometimes be complicated. But envirovores help each other out...which is why this blog will be bringing you news, tips, and information about food and the environment every step of the way.
