Myth

: Cow’s milk is full of hormones and antibiotics.

Fact

Not true! Canadian milk meets strict government standards so it’s safe. Canadian dairy farmers give their cows the best diet and health care so they produce quality milk naturally. Just like humans, cows sometimes get sick and need medications like antibiotics. If this happens, the cow is identified and milked separately until she is healthy again. Milk, organic and non-organic, is a safe nutritious choice
