Smith Dairy Products Company, a dairy processing company in Ohio, has announced their decision to produce milk that is bST free. The company also has facilities in Indiana and manufactures a full line of quality dairy, beverage, ice cream, and foodservice products.

“The use of rBST on dairy cows is an emotional issue for some consumers,” said Penny Baker, Director of Marketing at Smith Dairy. “We’re listening to them and, hopefully addressing their concerns.”

“Consumers who object to the use of artificial growth hormones now have an option,” Baker said. “Like our Yellow Super Jug(R), which protects milk from vitamin loss and flavor changes, SMITH’S rBST-free milk is another part of our continuing commitment to provide the best quality and selection to our consumers and customers.”
