Our Buttermilk Powder is from cows that are Pasture and Grain Fed. Pasture fed during the warm months in Canada and made from Canadian Milk, free of rBST (recombinant Bovine Somatotropin) {hormone that is injected into cows to increase milk production}.
Our buttermilk powder is manufactured using a spray-drying method. The dehydration process converts liquid buttermilk into powder by rapidly drying with hot gas, which allows it to be stored for a longer time. The buttermilk contains both casein and whey proteins, and its elevated phospholipid content provides good emulsifying and whipping properties.
Regarding the use of antibiotics and hormones, we wanted to let you know that, while the administration of growth hormones to dairy cows is still allowed in the US, Canadian dairy farmers do not use growth hormones such as BST or rBGH.
In Canada, the use of artificial growth hormones is prohibited and any antibiotic use must comply with Canadian Law. Milk supply safety and quality regulations are very strict and include provisions for farm and processing plant inspections and testing.
When cows are sick and require antibiotic treatment, the milk they produce is discarded for a regulated period of time to ensure the milk collected at the farm is antibiotic-free. As an additional assurance, every truckload of milk is tested before being unloaded at the processing plant. If antibiotics are found, the entire load is discarded and the farmer who contaminated the load is penalized. These regulations apply to both regular and organic milk.
The Canadian dairy industry is supply management run, this means they only produce enough milk to satisfy the Canadian consumer demand. Dairy farmers in Canada do not have the pressure to overproduce milk for export, which could potentially stress their animals' natural production pattern.
Cows need to be healthy and content in order to produce optimal amounts of high-quality milk. Most Canadian dairy farms are small, family-owned operations, with an average of 100 or so cows per farm. They are not factory farms, but rather small businesses.
