    2. rBST / rBGH Status: IDC cannot confirm that this product was produced with milk that is rBST-free.

    4. GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) Status: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) has found that genetically modified (“GM”) feed is not materially different than non-GM feed.

Therefore, to the best of IDC’s knowledge, neither the product nor its component parts have been intentionally modified from their naturally occurring state through recombinant DNA techniques.
