Do You Avoid Arla Priducts?
Ask a Question
After I read on the news about their additives, I have started feeling conscious about their products and completely avoiding them. Is there anyone else?
Aww thanks for this topic I was waiting someone going to post yes we did stop buying Arla products especially milk week ago as soon we heard family member told us 
no more 
to be honest there milk quality are good but heard all have to quit 
Going to try to. It's not a good move. We wouldn't have been allowed to do this if we were still in the EU
Jerseydrew Boaver the feed additive that has caused all the mis-information to be circulated online has been authorised for use in the EU since April 2022 under regulation No 1831/2003. The US and Australia are the latest countries to have it approved this year. The UK in 2023.
I wouldn’t use EU as your basis or argument animal welfare standards are so much higher here than in the EU. I wouldn’t touch any EU breed meat.
Jerseydrew The animal standards for slaughtering and rearing in parts of the EU are absolutely horrific. Some of the ex-iron curtain countries, Spain and Italy etc are well below the standards of the UK. We really should be banning imports from such countries now that we are out of the EU but we still have a free trade agreement with them sadly. A recent thread showed Italy was hiding/using low grade and possibly carcinegenic tomatoes in their tinned tomatoes. China has a history of using dangerous chemicals in their food production and no one is confident they will adhere to their promises.

Ideally we should banning a lot of food from the EU and other parts of the world on safety grounds and focusing on higher food production here.
Ironically the animal feed additive that has been causing mis-information to spread is Boaver.
This is being trialled in 30 UK farms and is to stop cattle producing so much methane emissions to help combat climate change 
They should look at tackling China and other Far East countries factories not targeting cows. Ridiculous.
This additive like many others (medicine products) are metabolised by the cows so it does not transfer to the milk.
The UK Food Standards Agency has approved its use for the safety of both cattle and humans.
It does not cause cancer it is not carcinogenic (that naturally occurs in sun rays or artificially produced vehicle exhaust emissions) or genotoxic.
Please do your own research before believing everything you read on social media.
If I drink their milk will I grow another head? Maybe that one would have a decent brain in it 
I never bought it anyway as I buy the supermarket own, which is produced by a local dairy. However I know enough to know that the feed additive does nothing to the milk as it isn't transferred over from the cow so I would happily buy it if I had too.
I'll continue to use the products because I don't believe they'll do me any harm, besides, I like a glass of Cravendale after each meal.
