Naturally Produced
Without
Artificial Hormones* |
|
Borden® shelf stable milk products are naturally produced without artificial hormones
from cows not treated with rbST. Recombinant bovine somatotropin
rbST (also known as recombinant bovine
growth hormone rbGH) is a genetically
engineered version of a natural growth hormone found in
cattle that increases milk output from cows.
As the furor
over the use of rbST continues you can rest assured knowing
Borden has mandated their farms are certified "rbST
free" and that Borden® products are from cows not treated
with the rbST growth hormone. |
|
*No significant
difference has been shown between milk derived from rbST-treated
cows and non rbST treated cows. |

|
| In addition to superior quality Borden® Brand Products have incredible brand recognition with Elsie the cow on the label: |
 |
| “Elsie is named to the top ten list of icons of the 20th century. Nine out of ten people in America recognize her.” |

| |
| Since 1939, Elsie has been more than just the “spokes-cow” of Borden® brand dairy products. She stands for excellence in the dairy business. To the public she is a time-honored symbol of taste, trust, and tradition. Experience the Borden® brand difference! |
