Are the cows given antibiotics or hormones? Will this butter ever be organic? Also are fed any grains such as soy or corn? Non GMO?

i dont work for kerrygold. have you seen their website? it explains a majority of this, it is from grassfed cows not soy or corn. it is pretty much the number one butter recommended by all well known nutritionists for their quality and standaeds. not all gmos are bad by the way. if you hate gmos, skip eating corn, carrots, bananas, certain apples, etc.

Probably nothing. I suppose if it is considered a "food" if it was labelled organic it would have to come from cows fed no antibiotic overdoses or steroids. But if it says not for human consumption there is no legal requirement for that exclusion. It's blood meal, which is an organic fertilizer so far as I'm concerned labelled so or not. It improves soil texture and won't burn the roots of your plants when it's watered in. Also slow release. I use it on citrus and lawns, both of which needs tons of nitrogen.

UPDATE! 04/07/15 NOT hormone free. The Symbiotics website now says this: "We collect colostrum from over 120 different dairies; we cannot and do not regulate how the dairies feed their cows; the USDA does. That said, normal feed includes grain, hay, grass, alfalfa, sometimes soy or corn and other vegetable-based feed to increase energy. The dairies are members of co-ops and the dairies are exclusively USDA Grade A quality."

Yes, according to their website. They have the USDA certified organic notation on their label, which means the cattle have to be pasture fed rather than feedlot fed. They also don't use growth hormones or antibiotics. Their website claims all their cattle are fed on ranch lands, not in feedlots.

Grass fed/organic = No, cold micro-filtered process = Yes. What is extremely disappointing about this product is that the cows are treated with growth hormones, so this is not rBGH free.

I doubt it. USDA organic milk is not the same as milk from grass fed cows. Protein powder is garbage anyway. Drink kefir and eat meat.

That's really weird. This product has a single ingredient and it's "certified organic butter (milk)". California is a crazy state so I wouldn't worry. They may just consider saturated fat a carcinogen.

Well it comes from cows that are grass fed, no pesticides or hormones are injected so in that sense iit is "organic". You can buy it either salted or salt free.

The inside label states that they use wild caught krill and cod, never farm raised. Also, the butter oil is from free range grass fed cattle never administered antibiotics or hormones. They strive to get the best sources of fish from cold waters. Because this product is not pasteurized, they make extra efforts and make it the way our ancestors did by fermenting the oil to archive the best results. They also test for metals and toxins in small batches to ensure consistency. Hope this helps.

My container does not say organic, certified or not. What it does say on the front is, "Goat Milk Protein From Free Range and Pasture Fed Goats Partially fermented with L. acidophilus L. bulgaricus, B. longum" On the back, it says the goats are not treated with hormones or antibiotics, and that the pastures are grown without any chemical fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides. Also says the partial fermentation is to enhance digestibility and assimilation.Hope this helps, and may God bless!:)

No "organic" labeling. The whey is from cows not treated with rBGH. Lecithin is from non-GMO sunflower seeds. Sweetened with Stevia. Usually I Dont like Stevia, but can't taste its unique flavor in this protein powder. NO...MSG, Acesulfame-K, artificial flavors, artificial sweeteners, cholesterol, artificial colors, aspartame, sucralose, lactose, or sugar.The only downside I can see, is if you have allergies, it is produced in a factory that processes all the major allergens.I absolutely love this product.

A very small amount since it's not in the ingredients list except at the end in a special note. I think there must have been soy in the nutrient broth that was used to culture some of the probiotic bacteria (which is why it says it's fermented). I would guess that most of that is removed/broken down. It is hard to find out from their website but it does say "soy free" on their site:http://www.gardenoflife.com/Products-for-Life/Foundational-Nutrition/RAW-Meal.aspxThere is no FAQ, though. My guess is that if you are worried about hormonal effects, you shouldn't be, but if you have allergies, you're best staying away.

I doubt it. Usually if something is organic, it is a selling point and they put it on the label. There is nothing on this label but gelatine, and I looked it up. Gelatine need not be organic and come or come from grass-fed cows.

Hello and thank you for your question. Yes, our probiotic is derived from dairy but it is Non-GMO. We do not agree with GMO products in any way. We hope this answers your concerns.

Not organic, maybe vegan but probiotic cultured in dairy so maybe not. I tried to find a good mixture of greens that are organic but could not find any - good luck
