Starbucks Corp. on Tuesday said it is aiming to make the milk and other dairy products it serves in its U.S. coffee houses free of a controversial artificial growth hormone used in dairies to increase milk production.
The move comes after Starbucks was targeted in a campaign by consumer groups critical of the use of an artificial hormone known as rBGH, which is given as a supplement to dairy cows to increase milk production.
The dairy products involved include fluid milk, half-and-half, whipping cream and eggnog.
There is no similar move for overseas locations because the supplement is not allowed in most other nations.
Are you happy with this change or not bothered? I reckon it's about time!
