Based on the desire of our customers and
consumers, Dean Foods will not accept milk
from cows that have been cloned. If the FDA
does approve the sale of milk from cloned
cows, we will work with our dairy farmers to
implement protocols to ensure that the milk
they supply to Dean Foods does not come from
cloned cows.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is
expected to conclude that milk from cloned
cows is safe. Our decision not to accept this
milk is based on meeting our consumers’
expectations. We see no consumer benefit from
this technology.
Numerous surveys have shown that Americans are
not interested in buying dairy products that
contain milk from cloned cows and Dean Foods
is responding to the needs of our consumers.
