Front-of-package: Organic

When you buy organic milk, you’re assured the cows were raised without recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH), which is an artificial growth hormone manufactured using genetically engineered bacteria. Organic milk is often pasture-raised, which means the cows sometimes graze on certified-organic pasture (grass) but are also fed organic grains. This shouldn’t be mistaken for milk from 100-percent grass-fed cows, which never receive grains; this variety is less widely available. Grass-feeding increases levels of heart-healthy omega-3 fats in cows’ milk.
