Waste & Recycling

Since 1994 it has been possible to synthesize a hormone naturally found in cows using recombinant DNA technology to create recombinant bovine somatotropin (rBST), recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH), or artificial growth hormone. Monsanto was the first to develop the technology and marketed it as "Posilac" - a brand now owned by Elanco Animal Health, a division of Eli Lilly and Company.The United States is the only developed nation to permit humans to drink milk from cows given artificial growth hormone. Posilac was banned from use in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and all European Union countries (currently numbering 27), by 2000 or earlier. In the United States, public opinion has caused a number of products and retailers to become rBST-free. Businesses using this label are required by law to include the following statement: "*The FDA has said no significant difference has been shown and no test can now distinguish milk from rBST treated and untreated cows."
