Pennsyvania milk label controversy
Pennsylvania has banned the "no-RBST" information on dairy labels (blogged here). From the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review:
State's labeling changes raise ire of industry, consumers, health experts
"Critics of the decision -- including consumers, milk processors and Allegheny County Health Department Director Bruce Dixon -- argue they still want to know what's in milk, regardless of what the latest science says about potential health effects. . .
Labeling milk products to distinguish between the two give a false suggestion that some products are bad and others are good, say Ryder and other proponents of the Agriculture Department's decision. Wolff said all milk in Pennsylvania is tested at least 10 times to ensure it does not contain illegal substances, such as pesticides or antibiotics. "
