cavanami Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 More poisons OK'd by the FDA... Artificial Sweeteners in Milk? http://health.yahoo.net/experts/dayinhealth/artificial-sweeteners-milk Got diet milk? In a highly controversial move, the dairy industry wants to market artificially sweetened milk—without any special label to alert consumers. In a petition filed with the FDA, the International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA) and the National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF) seek to change the definition of “milk†so that chemical sweeteners like aspartame and sucralose can be used as optional ingredients not listed on the product label. If the petition—originally filed in 2009 and now under consideration by the FDA—is successful, these hidden additives could also be included in 17 other dairy products—including whipping cream, low-fat and non-fat yogurt, eggnog, sweetened condensed milk, sour cream, and half-and-half—without requiring any special labeling...

TheCorinthian Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Funny you bring this up cause I saw a question about it just today on NPR. Odd... My lab did a test on milk in about 2009. We had bases send us samples and ended up with milk from about 50 labelers. (Notice I did NOT say "producers.") We found milk that had rennet, some with urea, oil, sugar, lots of salt, and some that were of all things reconstituted skim milk powder with fat added to make it "whole milk!" None of this was legal by contract and shit hit the fan. Needless to say, there were quite a few contracts that went up for review and one company (the skim milk to whole milk people) paid a hefty fine.
